Description:

A people that have traversed the globe, having successfully survived thousands of years of world history, must have quite a story to tell, and indeed they do!

2,000 Years of Jewish History explores a significant portion of that story: from the destruction of the Second Temple in Jerusalem in the year 70 to the downfall of Rome; from the rise of Islam and the Middle Ages to the Golden Age of Spain and the Crusades; from the Renaissance and Jewish settlement in Eastern Europe and Czarist Russia to the founding of the Jewish state in the 20th century.

Written from a traditional Jewish perspective, this unique volume though epic in scope and replete with maps, photographs, and timelines is far more than a rehashing of historical events.

It is a fascinating exploration of the issues and beliefs that triggered those events, filled with wisdom, profound insights, and profiles of illustrious personalities.

Readers will come away informed, enriched not only about Jewish history but world history as well.
