The story of Judaism, its religion, culture and civilization, is
shown in more than 240 illustrations. It is a history of the Jewish
faith from the time of Abraham and the 12 tribes through the
destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem to the Diaspora and the
Golden Age of Spain. It presents all the major festivals of the
year, such as Yom Kippur, Purim, Hanukkah and Passover, plus the
observances and traditions of the Shabbat. This beautifully
illustrated book is an excellent introduction to the rich and
influential story of the Jewish people. It contains a timeline from
the ancient Hebrews of 2000BC through to the medieval period. The
opening section covers the biblical account of how Abraham and his
descendants formed nomads into 12 Israelite tribes with a belief in
one God and a distinct moral code. The book describes the Exile to
Babylon, the Dispersal and the Diaspora, the rise of Christianity,
and Judaism's relationship with Islam. This in-depth account will
be of special interest to anyone wanting to discover the history,
philosophy and traditions of Judaism.
