Jewish History

The Big Picture

By: Gila Gevirtz

Adult readers will appreciate this epic story of the Jewish people rendered as a concise, accessible, and engaging narrative. This lively and accessible volume presents the full range of Jewish history, from biblical to contemporary times. Adapted from the two-volume award-winning work, The History of the Jewish People by Professors Jonathan Sarna and Jonathan Krasner, this single volume treats readers to a fast-paced account of Jewish history that is grounded in scholarship and brimming with information on topics as diverse as the development of Christianity beyond its Jewish roots into a new religion and the revival of Hebrew as a spoken language. The text is filled with colorful anecdotal detail about Jewish communities throughout history and around the world, such as how Passover was celebrated on the Civil War battlefield and the origins of Beta Israel, the Ethiopian-Jewish community. The broad array of graphics-16 maps, 12 charts, 27 timelines, and more than 100 photographs--is sure to engage readers and enrich their appreciation and understanding of Jewish history.

The Prophets: Speaking Out for Justice

By: Gila Gevirtz,Behrman House

An ideal course of study before students undertake b'nai mitzvah preparation, The Prophets: Speaking Out for Justice explores the lives of seven prophets and the Jewish values they exemplify. Stories based on biblical texts bring each prophet vividly to life, while narrative provides historical context for considering the challenges faced by the prophets in their own day. Connections to modern-day events and people are explored as well, helping students discover the relevance for today in the ancient messages of our biblical ancestors. Questions throughout the text address students directly, to get them thinking and to draw out their views. Contents: Introduction Moses: Radical Shepherd of Israel Samuel: Reluctant Kingmaker Elijah: Zealous Critic of the King Amos: Faithful Friend of the Covenant Isaiah: Righteous Spirit of Worship Jeremiah: Persistent Voice of Teshuvah Jonah: Runaway Messenger of Mercy Special Features: In the Footsteps of the Prophets: Highlights modern day figures who reflect values discussed in each chapter. Prayer Connections explain the origin of a number of key prayers and their place in the liturgy, including Mi Chamochah, the Amidah, and the Kedushah. Historical Notes provide context for each prophet by explaining political and cultural challenges of the times. Maps in each chapter help locate the prophets in place as well as in biblical history. A Values Index guides teachers in leading discussions about the role of each prophet in the development of our value system. A Companion Website, www.thejewishprophets.com, links to additional examples of modern-day teens and adults who walk "in the footsteps of the prophets," as well as ideas for service projects. A complete Lesson Plan Manual is available, which makes The Prophets: Speaking Out for Justice highly teachable even with limited preparation time. Assessments included throughout.
