RE: Who was Isaac Nathan? (fwd)

[David & Susan Esterman <estermans...>]

Isaac Nathan has a significant entry in the book "Australian Genesis" by
john Levi and  G. Bergman. This is a history of the Jewish community in
Australia and is well worth tracking down. I think it has recently been
reprinted.
