Le livre essaie de décrire dans chaque moment que les Juifs ...             Hellenism in Jewish Palestine;: Studies in the literary transmission, beliefs and manners of Palestine in the ...1 review Saul Lieberman Jewish Theological Seminary of America, 1962 not for beginners but still of some value even for them Since I don't know Greek or even much Hebrew, I did not get nearly as much out of this book as a scholarly reader would. (P.S. Although it is not available in bookstores it may be available in university libraries or through interlibrary loan). But even for me, it was somewhat worthwhile. Lieberman successfully traced the links between early rabbinic Judaism and Greco-Roman culture, showing ...             The Jew in the medieval world: A source book, 315-1791 ([Jewish Publication Society series ; JP 14)1 review Jacob Rader Marcus Meridian Books, 1960 amazing This amazing book has 96 primary sources - excerpts from books and essays by and about pre-emancipation Jews, discussing topics as varied as Christian and Muslim oppression of Jews, Jewish religious law, Jewish false messiahs, and Jewish education. Some of the more interesting things I learned: *That Christian oppression of Jews began almost as soon as Christians took over the Roman ...             A history of the Jewish people in the time of Jesus1 review Emil SchuÌ?rer Schocken Books, 1961 The historical background Christians need to know Emil Schurer is a Jewish scholar. He chooses to believe that Jesus Christ was a historical person, and that he lived at a certain period which is commonly agreed with by Christians. What we learn in this excellent book is who the people among whom Jesus carried on his ministry. What were the political, spiritual, and personal lives of folks in the area and time really like? Whether you are ...             The Messiah Jesus and John the Baptist: According to Flavius Josephus' recently rediscovered 'Capture of ...1 review Robert Eisler Methuen, 1931 Indispensable for understanding t he hoax of Christianity Until the recent work of Robert Eisenman this classic by Robert Eisler was the only book really to take a fresh look at the legends of Christianity and the real facts. Eisler asks a unique question: what if the paucity of non-biblical information about Jesus of Nazareth is not the result of his obscurity but the result of Christian bookburning and censorship? Taking the classic of Josephus, ...             Early Israel in recent history writing: A study in method (Studies in Biblical theology)1 review John Bright SCM Press, 1960 Bright still shines Now quite a dated volume, this short precis by John Bright is still quite helpful as an introduction to some of the issues and themes that still bedevil Old Testament historians and scholars. It is worth the effort to peruse in an afternoon, and I find Bright to be a scholar quite easy to read (which is a compliment) with its short summaries of some of the classic histories of early biblical ...             Students, Scholars and Saints2 reviews Louis Ginzberg The Jewish Publication Society and Meridian Books, 1958 Illuminating essays by a great Jewish scholar The essays in this book are titled as follows: 'The Jewish Primary School', 'The Disciple of the Wise', 'The Rabbinical Student' 'The Religion of the Pharisee' 'Jewish Thought as Reflected in the Halakah' ' 'The Gaon.Rabbi Elijah Wilna' 'Rabbi Israel Salanter' ' Zechariah Frankel' Isaac Hirsch Weiss' 'Solomon Schecter ' ' David Hoffman'. The biographical essays are of special interest and ...             The history of the Jews of Italy,1 review Cecil Roth The Jewish Publication Society of America Indispensable, but a little stodgy This is, as far as I can discover, the only one-volume History of the Jews of Italy in English, and that makes its nearly 600 pages an indispensable mine of information for the non-specialist. Considering that until 1859 Italy was, in Metternich's phrase, only a geographical expression, Roth had a formidable task, since the history of each Italian state, and often the history of each ...             Life is with people;: The culture of the shtetl (Schocken)1 review Mark Zborowski, Elizabeth Herzog Schocken Books, 1962 Review: Life is with People I have read this book several times--as well as parts of it at least a half dozen times--and have never failed to glean an enormous amount of information about the incredible lives of Eastern European Jews before World War II. The authors (all of whom are highly trained in their respective fields) have opened up to their readers a beautiful and yet painful world which those of us who live in ...             A history of the Jews4 reviews Abram Leon Sachar Knopf, 1955 Passion, Pride, and Patriotism Those three words came to mind when I read Abram Sachar's A History of Jews. Sachar passionately tells the story of his people with pride and racial patriotism as he praises Jewish heroes and excoriates the enemies of the Jews. He also has the ability to evoke sympathy for the plight of Jews living as a minority in society for so many centuries. This is the type of patriotic history that is used ...             Le Pianiste: L'Extraordinaire Destin D'UN Musicien Juif Dans Le Ghetto De Varsovie, 1939-19451 review Wladyslaw Szpilman Presse Pocket, 2003 le pianiste J'ai beaucoup aimé ce livre qui démontre comment un artiste de grand talent a su, malgré la guerre, malgré la perte de sa famille et de ses amis a réussi a passé au travers de tous ces malheurs en se rappellant les compositions qu'il interpretait et qu'il souhaitait interpreter de nouveau apres la guerre. Le destin tragique de cet homme qui a su s'accrocher a la vie dans des conditions ...             Adieu, Babylone : Mémoires d'un juif d'Irak Naïm Kattan, Michel Tournier Albin Michel, 2003             Rifke: An Improbable Life1 review Rosalie Wise Sharp Ecw Press, 2007 Amazing Life--Unexceptional Telling While there is no gainsaying Rifke's material--rags to riches never gets old--her self-deprecating insistence that she might not be up to the task proves all too pointed. Her flat prose never rises to the many occasions, and her bland narrative never seems to get to the heart of the matter--or her heart for that matter. Perhaps a talented biographer will someday use this as source material--until ...             Ahasver le juif errant Heym Age d'homme, 1991             Adolph Donath: 1876-1937 : parcours d'un intellectuel juif germanophone : Vienne, Berlin, Prague (Collection ...
