Menahem Kaufman's Books

While the history of Zionism in America is well documented, the history of non-Zionist activities in America is less well known. An Ambiguous Partnership now tells that story. Dr Menahem Kaufman gives a detailed account of how American public figures and Jewish organizations, self-defined as non-Zionists, were influenced by changing attitudes in American society and government towards the Zionist struggle and by the problem of Holocaust survivors in Europe. This study describes the non-Zionists involvement in the political processes in Washington and the United Nations, which eventually brought about the establishment of the State of Israel.

This work studies the biblical tithe from anthropological and theological perspectives. It explores tithe as gift rather than tax, the latter being the common interpretation to date.

The Jewish Diaspora, also called the Gulla (Gullut), has been a central reality to the Jewish people from ancient times to the present. As a result, relations between the Jewish Diaspora and Eretz Israel, or the state of Israel, has remained a major concern. The papers in Eretz Israel, Israel and the Diaspora address that issue. They have been gathered from the first (1988) annual symposium of Creighton University's Philip M. and Ethel Klutznick Chair in Jewish Civilization.

In The Second Jewish Revolt: The Bar Kokhba War, 132-136 C.E., Menahem Mor offers a detailed account on the Bar Kokhba Revolt in an attempt to understand the second revolt against the Romans. Since the Bar Kokhba Revolt did not have a historian who devoted a comprehensive book to the event, Mor used a variety of historical materials including literary sources (Jewish, Christian, Greek and Latin) and archaeological sources (inscriptions, coins, military diplomas, hideouts, and refuge complexes). The book reviews the causes for the outbreak while explaining the complexity of the territorial expansion of the Revolt. Mor portrays the participants and opponents as well as the attitudes of the non-Jewish population in Palestine. He exposes the Roman Army’s part in Judaea, the Jewish leadership and the implications of the Revolt.
