A HISTORY OF THE JEWS

A tour  on  Paul Johnson's book -  A HISTORY OF THE JEWS - this
brilliant 4000 year survey covers not only Jewish history but the
impact of
Jewish ge - nius and imagination on the world, reveals that Jewish
society  was appointed to be a pilot-project for the entire human
race. That Jewish
dilemmas,dramas and catastrophes should be exemplary , larger than
life, would seem only natu ral to them.
Above all, that the Jews still survive, when all those other ancient
people were transmuted or vanished into the oubliettes of history,
was
wholly
predictable.


                  We are what we are,


                 we are Jewish, is this what we are.


                  Blessed we are, and also our world,


                 and candy as to a=E7ucar it is our life.
