Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Jew in History The Jew is the paradox Of history. In the words Of a French writer: He alone can, without exceeding the limits of probability, trace his genealogy back through the ages to prehistoric times. As compared with the Jews we are young, we are new-comers, in the matter Of civilisation they are ahead of us. It was in vain that we locked them up for several hundred years behind the walls of the Ghetto no sooner were their prison gates Unbarred than they easily caught up with us, even on those paths which we had opened up without their aid. In the Jewish race there abides a secret vitality, a marvellous power Of recuperation and rejuvenation. Can we explain the paradox, can we discover the secret? Only by one way can this be done - by tracing the course of the Jewish race as recorded in history. History alone can, furnish. The clue. The clue to the history of the Jews is found in religion. In truth the clue to the history of all peoples is in religion. In the words of the late Sir John Seeley: Religion is, and always has been, the basis of Societies and States. Look abroad where you will, in the wide field of history, you will find religion wherever it works freely and mightily either giving birth to and sustaining States or raising them up to a second life after their destruction.

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.

Oft times the mountain-high billows seem about to suck it into their swirl and sink it to the bottom Of the sea; but ever again it rides upon the crests of the waves, serenely sailing on in its course. Under this metaphor our sages of Old conceived the history Of Israel. Israel is the tiny craft sailing in loneliness across a boundless ocean. Again and again he seems about to be engulfed by the nations again and again it looks as though Israel were stricken forever from the list of the peoples Of earth, but he always reappears, rejuvenated, with added num bers, with increased strength.

Promptly came the reply in three words, The Jews, Sire And, in great measure, the chaplain was right. W hen we con sider the miraculous origin of the race, and the no less miraculous way in which the Jews have been preserved from the days Of Abraham downwards, scattered among all nations, yet mixing with none, oppressed by all, yet surviving still, maintaining, notwithstanding their aloofness from other peoples, their racial purity and their intellectual activity; and when we remember that, as their history has been unrolled before the world, it. Has been but the fulfilling of those ancient Scriptures, 'and that both the unrolling and the fulfilling are being carried on before our eyes at the present hour, we cannot but admit the Divine inspiration of those Sacred Records.

Download or read book History of the Jews in America From the Period of the Discovery of the New World to the Present Time Classic Reprint written by Peter Wiernik and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-26 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Jews in America, From the Period of the Discovery of the New World, to the Present Time There were less than ten thousand Jews in the New World three centuries after its discovery, and about two-thirds of them lived in the West Indies and in Surinam or Dutch Guiana in South America. While the communities in those far-away places are now larger in membership than they were at the beginning of the Nineteenth Century, their comparative importance is much diminished. The two or three thousand Jews who lived in North America or in the United States one hundred years ago have, on the other hand, increased to nearly as many millions, the bulk of them having come in the last three or four decades. On this account neither our conditions nor our problems can be thoroughly understood without the consideration of the actual present. The plan of other works of this kind, to devote only a short concluding chapter to the present time, or to leave it altogether for the future historian, could therefore not be followed in this work. The story would be less than half told, if attention were not paid to contemporary history. The chief aim of the work - the first of its kind in this complete form - being to reach the ordinary reader who is interested in Jewish matters in a general way, original investigations and learned disquisitions were avoided, and it was not deemed advisable to overburden the book with too many notes or to provide a bibliographical apparatus. The plan and scope of the work are self evident; it was inevitable that a disproportionately large part should be devoted to the United States. The continuity of Jewish history is made possible only by the preservation of our identity as a religious community: local history really begins with the formation of a congregation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 2007. This classic work explores the seminal early periods of Jewish history. The destruction of Jerusalem in 586 B.C. by the army of Nebuchadnezzar marks a radical turning point in the life of the people of Jehovah, for then the history of the Hebrew state and monarchy ends, and the Jewish history, the records of experiences, not of a nation but of the scattered, oppressed remnants of the Jewish people, begins.
