Why do Jews account for less than 1% of the world’s population but 22% of Nobel Prize winners?
Despite countless challenges, Jews have still produced talented people in the fields of science, humanities, and economics. For thousands of years, and around the world, Jewish history is a stunning story of survival against all odds, and a moving story of faith, covenant and tradition.
This concise yet comprehensive history of the Jewish people provides an introduction to Judaism, Torah, and biblical history, followed by a fascinating journey of the Jews through the Greek, Roman, and Muslim empires. It endured waves of persecution, beginning with the Crusades and culminating in violence under the Nazi regime. This book provides an in-depth look at the new state of Israel, its struggle for survival, and how it has thrived in recent years. It tells the fascinating and sometimes tragic story of the Jews who left their mark on history, as well as the story of a people who continue to play a distinguished role on the world stage.
Here is a glimpse at some of the questions covered in this overview: What spectacular events are celebrated at Passover? How did the Jews escape the Babylonian exile? Who sacrificed pigs to the god Saturn in the Second Temple in Jerusalem? How did Muslim rule improve the lives of Jews in Spain and North Africa? What led the Nazis to seek to exterminate the Jewish race? How did Israel defeat eight Arab countries in the Six-Day War? What led to a lasting peace between Israel and Egypt?
