"Menasseh ben Israel's Mission to Oliver Cromwell" by Manasseh ben Israel tells the story of a determined rabbi's quest to overturn a centuries-old ban and bring Jews back to England in the mid-1600s. The book explores the world and times of Menasseh ben Israel, a Jewish leader who believed England during Oliver Cromwell's rule was ready to welcome Jews again. It paints a picture of the challenges Jews faced, their hopes for religious freedom, and the careful planning it took to try and change the minds of powerful people, detailing the letters, the debates, and the high stakes involved in uniting faith and politics during a time of great change in England.
