The Historical Dictionary of the Jews presents the history of the
Jewish people and their religious culture in a way that makes clear
how and why this small, ancient people have survived nearly four
millennia and managed to play such an important role in the
world-well out of proportion to their population. The Jews trace
their origins far back in history to the early tribes of Judah and
Moses. Over the centuries, they spread across much of the Western
world, as well as into parts of Africa and Asia, until they were
crushed by the Holocaust and were forced to find refuge in the
United States and the new state of Israel. Because of that horrific
event, of the estimated 15 million Jews living today, approximately
six million reside in Israel, with almost the same number living in
the United States, making these two countries the main center of
Jewish life today. This ready reference tells the history of the
Jewish people through a detailed chronology, an introductory essay,
an extensive bibliography, and over 200 cross-referenced dictionary
entries on significant persons, places, events, institutions, and
aspects of culture, society, economy, and politics. This book is an
excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone
wanting to know more about the Jewish people.
