Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the Jews IT is not frequent that an author on any Jewish subject receives the encouragement of a demand for a second edition of his book. My volume of Jewish history which is again submitted to the public, in tended primarily as a manual of instruction, is re vised chiefly by being brought up to date. This re vision became necessary owing to the great changes which the World War has produced in Central and Eastern Europe. Desiring not to enlarge the book too much, I have added merely the most important facts and names in modern Jewish history. In the chap ters dealing with the older epochs, only a few in significant additions have been made. Other changes are merely textual. It still remains for the intelligent teacher to explain the facts given in the book which, by the very nature of its intention, makes dry read ing for the uninitiated. Every history, no matter how large, is bound to be selective. My book, therefore, like every other on the subject, will be Open to criticism in regard to omissions. In the modern period especially, I have no doubt that some one will find certain names omitted, but I have conscientiously weighed the question in every instance and believe to have been impartial and to have deserved from fair-minded critics the Tal mudic compliment - that an author is to be com mended both for what he includes and for what he excludes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Jews in Modern Times The writer has aimed in the following pages to present, on the basis of a number of authorita tive historical works, a digest of leading events in the history of modern Jewry and the conclusions to be drawn from them. Details have been resorted to mainly in so far as they helped to bring out and corroborate the general picture. Facts and data were condensed, but nothing was allowed to escape that could in any way serve to portray a phase or a movement. On occasions, indeed, the writer found himself impelled to sin on the Side of greater elucidation and to expatiate on matters which ordinarily a historian might barely refer to. This he did not without full consciousness of the peculiarity of the treatment, but in order to sub serve thereby the tendency underlying his work. He has, however, guarded against causing the his torian to be lost in the preacher, as the work itself will, he hopes, amply bear out.

Download or read book A History of the Jews in England Classic Reprint written by Albert Montefiore Hyamson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-25 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Jews in England But the story of the ]ews in England is something more than a mere illustration of the general for tunes of the Jews. The unparalleled preservation of mediaeval records in England enables the historian to trace more clearly than elsewhere the peculiar position of the ]ews under the Feudal System. Then, again, the stages in jewish emancipation in England are very accurately marked. We see the ]ews earning by civic virtues the claim for political rights. Emanci pation in England was not granted in obedience to abstract principles; it was a practical concession made by practical men. In other ways, too, the story told in this book has its importance not merely as a record of the past but as a guide and hope for the future. The tale unfolded may not be brilliant, but the moral pointed is inspiring. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: A landmark work of Jewish history and a worldwide phenomenon when it was first published, this masterpiece of Jewish history was translated in multiple languages and instantly become the de facto standard in the field. German academic HEINRICH GRAETZ (1817-1891) brings a sympathetic Jewish perspective to the story of his own people, offering readers today an affectionate, passionate history, not a detached, clinical one. Backed by impeccable scholarship and originally published in German across 11 volumes between 1853 and 1875, this six-volume English-language edition was abridged under the direction of the author, and brought to American readers by the Jewish Publication Society of America in 1891. It remains an important work of the study of the Jewish religion and people to this day. Volume I, subtitled From the Earliest Period to the Death of Simon the Maccabee (135 B.C.E), begins with the earliest inhabitants of Canaan, hereditary law, and the exodus from Egypt, and continues through the Judean colonies in Egypt, the overthrow of the Acra and the Hellenists, and the assassination of Simon.

Consider the years of many generations: Ask thy father, and he will shew thee; Thine elders, and they will tell thee." Deut. xxxii.7. "Ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and my servant whom I have chosen." - Isaiah xliii. 10. "The life of man is numbered by days: The days of Israel are without number." Ecclus. xxxvii. 25. "Kingdoms arise and kingdoms pass away, but Israel endureth for evermore." - Midrash. "Man is made man by history. The Jew recognizes that he is made what he is by the history of his fathers, and feels he is losing his better self so far as he loses his hold on his past history. "The history of Israel is the great living proof of the working of Divine Providence in the affairs of the world. Alone among the nations Israel has shared in all great movements since mankind became conscious of their destinies. If there is no Divine purpose in the long travail of Israel, it is vain to seek for any such purpose in man's life. In the reflected light of that purpose each Jew should lead his life with an added dignity." - Joseph Jacobs.

Download or read book History of the Jewish Nation written by E. H. Palmer and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-05-03 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Jewish Nation: From the Earliest Times to the Present Day The history of no nation is so intimately connected with the welfare of the whole human race as that of the Jews. Immanuel was a Jew, and for this reason, if for no other, mankind would have an interest in tracing the narrative of the race to which that mighty Personage belonged. The Jews are the people of promise, to whom the Divine Word stands pledged, in a sense which is true of no other nation ality. They stand nearer to God, in certain respects, than any other people. The Jews are the people of prophecy. The things foretold concerning them in one age are fulfilled in another. Prophecy and its fulfillment are in them joined closely together. History, within a certain limited range, exists and is written for their sakes. In their gradually developing history, the word of Jehovah stands, as it were, on trial; and the reverent mind takes the deepest interest in inquiring what is the issue of this test. Is the Divine word, in the gradual unfolding of the ages, fulfilled? And he who worthily sets forth the materials for the answering of this question, does a service to theology, to learning, to history, and to every curious inquirer. God made promises to the Hebrew nation from the days of Abraham till the close of the Old Testament Scripture. He threatened evil to them as the fmit of rebellion and sin. Have the good things promised, and has the evil threatened come to the nation in alternating succession, in proportion to their varying deserts? The Jews who lived in the times of the incarnation of Christ imprecated curses upon themselves and their children for the share they chose to take in compassing the death of the Son of God. Has the curse rested upon the people? Do they feel, in their present separation from the nations of the earth, in the lack of respect with which they are, as a general rule, regarded, in the cruel persecutions which have been visited upon them, and in their stubborn blindness to the light of the Gospel, the awful cfiect of Divine displeasure These questions, as they are continuously solved by history, hold an important relation to the theology of the world. While the Divine omni presence is a truth universally conceded, and which needs no argument, we find in the Jewish nation and its history, the most convincing illustration of that doctrine. In the Jewish history God stands forth before men, an acknowledged, a present God, a jealous God, visiting the iniquities of the fathers upon the children, unto the third and fourth generations of them that hate him. If other histories are so written as to seem like events without a God, the Jewish history is a history with God every where embodied, and everywhere apparent. The history of the Jewish people is a commentary on the Divine faithfulness and veracity, and in it God brings himself very near to men.
