In his collection of poems, The Grain of the Jewish Soul, Anatoliy Vorobyev writes about the departure of the Jews from Russia in search of a permanent home. He records his impressions of a trip to Israel and the taking leave of friends, and he describes the anti-Semitism Jews face from their fellow citizens and government in Russia.
