About This Novel

Representative works of the winners of the Holberg Prize, the Baren Prize, and the Israel National Prize. Reconstruct the classic texts of Jewish history from the perspective of civilization bearers. With extraordinary erudition, compassion and appeal, Eisenstadt explores the fundamental reasons why Jewish civilization has flourished to this day. A book that clearly understands the core of Jewish history. "Jewish Civilization" is the representative work of the famous Israeli sociologist Eisenstat. This book is the first to argue that the best way to understand Jewish history is to view Judaism as a civilization, not just as a nation or nation. Eisenstat compared Jewish life customs with Greek culture, Roman civilization, etc. It further analyzes the different modes of integration of Jewish communities into European and American societies in the modern period; it carefully outlines the national movements developed by the Jews at the end of the nineteenth century, especially the Zionist movement, as well as the specific characteristics of Israeli society. The main question Eisenstaedt raises is the extent to which the history of the Jews is unique compared with other groups integrated into the modern nation-state. He demonstrates the continuing creativity of Jewish civilization through numerous concrete case studies.
