Put your arms around Jewish History.
For most people five thousand years of history boggles the mind. So many names and places. Years and events. It can be overwhelming and confusing. This book---with its clever and thoughtful organization---is keenly structured to enable everyone to grasp the larger picture and to focus in on detail.
Those familiar with this author's previous history work (Jewish Time Line Encyclopedia) will recognize some of the features---and of course history doesn't change with time.
However, don't be fooled. This is not just an updated re-run.
This is a new book by Kantor, an experienced articulator of crisp and crystal-clear history. It is a rare type in history books---because one could read a couple of entries before going to sleep, and not have the need to continue from the same spot next time. This book is chock-full of delightful snippets.
It is a browsers delight, and a students vital imperative. It is a scholarly work with a dazzling array of references. Skip over them if you wish (they are in small print)---but the erudition is more than impressive.
Oh yes. There are charts, graphics, plain maps, full color maps and antique maps.
All these (and other) numerous features make this an important work that is bound to be a classic.
About the Author: Rabbi Mattis Kantor...
Australian born Rabbi Mattis Kantor studied in Yeshivot in Cleveland, Israel and then New York, where he received Rabbinical ordination from the Yeshiva Tomchei Tmimim in 1966, and a Masters Degree in Educational Administration from Fordham University in 1970. He is a noted author and lecturer who has held a number of educational positions in the United States and Australia. He has recently retired as the rabbi of Congregation Zichron Moshe in Monsey New York, and is currently writing new works.
He is the author of three major works; all have been featured as a MAIN SELECTION OF THE MONTH by the Jewish Book Club in the USA.
A Guide for the Entangled; CHASSIDIC INSIGHTS was first published in 1978. It is a system of contemporary religious hashkafa philosophy with a mystical Kabala blend.
A Guide for the Entangled; TEN KEYS FOR UNDERSTANDING HUMAN NATURE was published in spring of 1994. It is a system of personality analysis based on the Kabala.
THE JEWISH TIME LINE ENCYCLOPEDIA was first published in 1989. The exceptional organization of this work and its traditional approach to Jewish history have won it some remarkable acclaim for its brief---yet comprehensive, and simple scholarly, style. It has seen three editions.
