In this celebration of Jewish life at the tip of the African continent, businessman and philanthropist, Tony Raphaely, has curated stunning individual and group portraits that collectively represent a snapshot in time of Cape Towns vibrant Jewish community. This book is a unique compendium of nearly 300 photographs, taken in 2019 (or the Jewish year 5779), to showcase and record for posterity the people whose professions and services have enriched not only the community from which they come, but also the greater society in which they live. The images, taken by a team of 17 photographers, provide a fascinating chronicle of all stages of life and across a wide range of occupations and pursuits. Some are famous personalities, like Zapiro, Albie Sachs, Lisa Chait and Nik Rabinowitz; others are less distinguished but no less revered for their contribution to life in the city.

A Handful of Sand distils this past into an enduring testament of hope and resilience it is a record not only of generations current and past, but also for generations to come.
