Did you know that:
Rav Yosef Karo was a young child when Columbus
discovered America?
Rembrandt painted a portrait of the famous Dutch
rabbi, Menasseh Ben Israel, whose family had escaped
the Portuguese Inquisition?
Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch was 53 years old when
the American Civil War broke out?
If you didn't know, you're not alone. Many Jews
today know little about Jewish history because
they've been bored in classes and their texts lacked
sparkle. But history doesn't have to be tedious.
A quick look at The Jewish Experience: 2,000 Years
will convince you that the story of our proud
heritage can be as relevant and current as today's
newspaper.
The first thing you will notice is the abundant
pictures and graphics lavishly illustrating the
entire volume. We are invited to relive bygone years
through a creative blend of significant milestones
and little-known facts. Informative sidebars, "Did
You Know That?" columns and special sections keep
the reading fresh and interesting.
Noted educator Rabbi Nachman Zakon covers the past
two thousand years with a journalistic eye,
recounting the deeds of heroes, scoundrels and
common folk. He is careful to place every event on
the Jewish calendar with the corresponding Common
Era date, so that historic Jewish experiences can be
viewed in the context of world events.
From the miracle of Chanukah to the wonders of our
day, the annals of Jewish history are filled with
valor and fortitude. The Jewish Experience will
educate and inspire people of all ages truly a
history you can give to anyone from 8 to 80.
