When I was flipping through the table of contents of the most recent issue of the Zman Magazine, it brought me great pleasure (albeit prematurely) to see that they had a feature story on ‘heroic [Russian] Jews who led a spiritual revolt [in the USSR]’. It didn’t take long until I realized that the magazine’s motive wasn't to convey a portion of history as it had taken place, rather to [re]write history. In this article consisting of a couple of hundred sentences, merely two of them mentioned Chabad (to be quite honest, I wasn’t holding my breath).

Asian Jewish Life

Left: Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Right: Rabbi Bentzion Butman and family.

Phnom Penh is a small town, especially when you are an expat. It's common to run into people you know at the coffee shop, the grocery store, the local pub… it seems once you are around long enough, you get to know most of the people worth knowing, despite the transient nature of the population. This is even truer of the Jewish community in Cambodia; it's like an easy game of Jewish Geography. “Oh, do you know Sol who works at Save the Children?” “Yes, of course I know Sol, his children go to preschool with mine.” The game is almost impossible to lose. It's fast paced and only concludes when everyone in the community is named.
