153K0

Where did the Jews come from? How did they maintain a strong sense of community despite centuries of displacement? Why are contemporary Jews still proud of their national identity and thriving in their national homeland despite the shadow of a ravaged history? The book covers a wide range of topics and contains a large amount of information. By tracing the history of the Jews from the legendary era to the current Middle East peace talks, it not only shows the main geographical, cultural, and political factors that determine the course of Jewish history, but also introduces all kinds of Jews who shaped the Jewish character, mentality, and vision. To make this overview international and relevant, the authors focus on key events and dominant Jewish communities in each historical period.
