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.

Download or read book A History of the Jews in Modern Times Classic Reprint written by Max Raisin and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-17 with total page 612 pages. 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the Jews, Vol. 3 of 3 The contest raged more and more fiercely - for the abundant stores Within the Temple so un spariiigly supplied the few adherents of Eleazar, that, in their drunkenness, they would occasionally sally out against John. When these attacks took place, John stood on the defensive; from the outer porticoes repelled Simon, and with his engines within harassed Eleazar. When the drunken or overwearied troops of Eleazar gave him repose, he would sally forth against Simon, and waste the city. Simon in his turn would drive him back; and thus the space around the Temple became a mass of rum and desolation; and in these desultory conflicts, the granaries, which, if carefully protected and pru dently husbanded, might have maintained the city in plenty for years, were either wantonly thrown to waste or set on fire by Simon, lest they should be seized by John.

Download or read book The Jew in History Classic Reprint written by Leon Levison and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-25 with total page 140 pages. 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.

Download or read book History of the Jews written by Heinrich Graetz and published by Cosimo, Inc.. This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

This book was released on 2018-01-04 with total page 558 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Popular History of the Jews, Vol. 2 Imitating the Roman example of proscription and confiscation, Herod's coffers were soon filled to overflowing with the confiscated property of his victims, and this enabled him to retain the favor of Antony who was ever in need of money for his riotous living and for satisfying the greed of Cleo patra. The people bore all these outrages resign edly; they were exhausted with the uprisings and the wars that continued, with slight interruption, for thirty-three years, since the death of Queen Alexandra, and that ruined the prosperity of the nation. They were longing for quietude and were glad to be ruled by a king who, outwardly at least, was an adherent of Judaism and who, it was to be hoped, would leave the customs of the fathers in tact. Moreover, Herod's shrewdness and energy in overcoming all obstacles gained him the admira tion and devotion of not a few people, and Herod did not fail to reward them richly for their loyalty. Oh the whole, though, Herod had little confidence in the natives; he felt that their dissatisfaction with the means he employed in gaining his mastery over them and with the manner in which he maintained it, could not be eradicated altogether. Accordingly, in filling positions of honor, he gave the preference to extra-palestinian Judaeans. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
