This book offers an account of the 4,000-year history of the Jews, from the ancient Patriarchs and Kings through to modern times. It also explores the Jewish faith, its traditional beliefs and practices, its festivals and celebrations, and the way of life of Jewish people today. Divided into two volumes, The History of the Jews, details how the Jewish people flourished over time, creating the Hebrew Bible, before enduring centuries of persecution, culminating in the mass migration from Europe to America, and the eventual return to the Promised Land of Israel. The second volume, Judaism, explores the variety of religious forms of Jewish existence. The central tenets of Jewish belief are outlined and all aspects of religious life are described including the Sabbath, festivals, and home ceremonies. This 512-page history of the Jewish people, their religion and philosophy, traditions and practices, is fully illustrated, and the perfect home reference and mitzvah gift.

This is a most impressive volume, covering a wide range of topics, including Jewish history, festivals, schools of thought. Coverage includes such diverse topics as Zionism, Kabbalah, and even Jewish Buddhists. (A disproportion of converts to Buddhism are Jews.) The book is superbly illustrated, and incredible value at the price. It can be used either as a reference work, or read from cover to cover. It would also make an excellent gift.
