Like Streams in the Negev by Susan Sara Feiga Zimmerman is her memoir and family history that takes a unique look at Australian Jewish history from the 1850s to the 1950s. This was a period of great vision and pioneering leadership that created so much of the Jewish infrastructure that we take for granted today. The story of her ancestry provides a background to Susan's personal experiences of childhood, as part of the extended family she came from and for her love of orthodox Judaism.
This book was recently reviewed by historian William D. Rubinstein in the Jewish Historical Society Journal who mentioned 'This is a very interesting, well-written and valuable autobiography….with previously unpublished stories and anecdotes'.
