Synopsis Jewish Journeys: The Second Temple Period to the Bar Kokhba Revolt: 536 Bce-136 Ce by : Tuvia Book

This beautifully Illustrated history book is the the first volume to be published in a planned six-volume series directed at Jewish young adults. It is noteworthy that this inaugural volume tells the story of Jews returning to the Land of Israel, while the Diaspora continues to thrive in a world of superpowers which clash and cooperate - a period not unlike our own. We hope that this series will go some way to rectify the ignorance of our unique, long, and complex history, and to enable future Jewish adults to understand both their past and ground their future in a changing and evolving world.

Synopsis Loving Every Child by : Janusz Korczak

“Korczak’s words resonate across the years and have amazing modern-day relevance.”—Jim Harding, director of the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children Born in Poland in 1878, educator, physician, and legendary child advocate Janusz Korczak believed that simply understanding children is the key to being able to take care of them. It’s a basic premise too often overlooked. This collection of one hundred quotations and passages from Korczak’s writings provides valuable advice on how to take care of, respect, and love every child. In an inviting gift-book format, this is a heartfelt and helpful reminder of who we were as children and who we might become as parents.

Synopsis The 'Hellenization' of Judea in the First Century after Christ by : Martin Hengel

This short but highly significant study is the first real sequel to Professor Martin Hengel's classic and monumental work 'Judaism and Hellenism'. It demonstrates from a wealth of evidence, much of it made readily available here for the first time, that in the New Testament period Hellenization was so widespread in Palestine that the usual distinction between Hellenistic Judaism and Palestinian Judaism is not a valid one and that the word Hellenistic and related terms are so vague as to be meaningless. The consequences of this for New Testament study are, of course, considerable.

Synopsis The Jewish Revolution by : Israel Eldad

With The Jewish Revolution classical Zionism has found its true interpretation. In the highest tradition of the soldier-statesman, Dr. Israel Eldad advocates a form of Zionism that is unpopular in conventional society. He condemns establishmentarian, social-club Zionism as a belittling of Jewish history and a threat to Jewish lives. In its place, he calls for a revolutionary creed one that dares assert its right to the Jewish homeland; not as defined by diplomats, politicians and Security Council Resolutions, but in biblical, historical terms. He boldly declares that Jewish diplomacy failed to save millions of European Jews, and he accuses world leaders of inviting new Holocausts by denying history s lessons and ignoring its imperatives. He warns the Jewish people that it can rely only on its own forces, and he offers a solution to the Arab problem in the Middle East. The Jewish Revolution combines the passion of the patriot, the logic of the scholar and the sweep of the historian.

Synopsis The Jewish Choice: Unity or Anti-Semitism by : Michael Laitman

The Jewish Choice: Unity or Anti-Semitism is like no other book you have ever read about Jews, about history, or about anti-Semitism. As its title suggests, it draws a direct link between Jewish unity and a rise in anti-Semitism, including the current wave. Assuming such a correlation is so extraordinary, you could easily brush it off as a provocation were it not documented in hundreds of books, essays, and letters throughout history. Beginning in ancient Babylon and ending in America, Babylon’s modern counterpart, the author masterfully draws parallels and connects the dots of history like none have done before. By the end of the book, you will know the reason for the oldest hatred, how it can be dissolved, and how Jews and non-Jews alike will benefit as a result.

Synopsis When Scotland Was Jewish by : Elizabeth Caldwell Hirschman

The popular image of Scotland is dominated by widely recognized elements of Celtic culture. But a significant non-Celtic influence on Scotland's history has been largely ignored for centuries? This book argues that much of Scotland's history and culture from 1100 forward is Jewish. The authors provide evidence that many of the national heroes, villains, rulers, nobles, traders, merchants, bishops, guild members, burgesses, and ministers of Scotland were of Jewish descent, their ancestors originating in France and Spain. Much of the traditional historical account of Scotland, it is proposed, rests on fundamental interpretive errors, perpetuated in order to affirm Scotland's identity as a Celtic, Christian society. A more accurate and profound understanding of Scottish history has thus been buried. The authors' wide-ranging research includes examination of census records, archaeological artifacts, castle carvings, cemetery inscriptions, religious seals, coinage, burgess and guild member rolls, noble genealogies, family crests, portraiture, and geographic place names.

Synopsis The Times of the Gentiles Are Fulfilled by : Fred Harding

Middle East History as you have never seen it before with over 200 illustrations to enhance your reading experience across more than 640 pages. This is probably the most historically accurate and comprehensive study of the Times of the Gentiles ever produced. It does not adhere to any theological preferences or make reference to the Book of Revelation, so often used by Christian theologians to support a particular interpretation. Instead, I have followed the historical evidence to where it has led and as a result I have reached some startling and amazing conclusions. If there is any book that the reader should read on this subject it is this one. By the time you have finished reading it you will be in the enviable position to truly appreciate what is happening in the Middle East today and where it is leading to. Today's news stories of the region will now make more sense, and you will see the world with different eyes. This book is written for Jews, Christians and Muslims alike but primarily seen through the eyes of the Jews, because it is they who have been trampled upon by the nations for almost two thousand years, throughout the Times of the Gentiles. This tragedy that has prevailed for this long period of time has been of the Jews own making. Throughout the ages they have been led by a rabbinical elite who have instigated the greatest cover up in history, who even to modified their holy writings, the Tanakh (Old Testament), to cover their tracks. Not only did they know when the Messiah would come but when he did, they conspired to put him to death. So, Yahshua ben Joseph better known as Jesus prophesised against them, condemning the Jews to a long period of Gentile servitude as a precursor to His return. It is against the backdrop of Jerusalem being trampled upon by the nations that we follow the fortunes of the Jews as they were scattered among the nations struggling to understand why God had abandoned them for so long. We see how and why the Jews were temporarily cut off from the blessings of a relationship with God which was given to the Gentiles. We also see how corruption entered the Christian communities so that one Church emerged from the ruins of Rome and changed the simplicity of the Gospel to teach doctrines of demons, including one that would forever be a stumbling block to the Jews. We shall see prophesies and history merge in incredible ways and the words of Jesus and the Hebrew prophets coming alive. They tell of the destruction of Jerusalem and its Temple; the coming of the false Messiah, the building of the abomination of desolation where it should not be; the scattering of the Jews to all the nations; how God thwarted the building of the Third Temple several times; the appearance of the Suffering Messiah, the rise of the false Prophet and a Muslim king that entered Jerusalem through the Eastern Gate on a donkey; the sealing of the gate and the attempts to open it continuously foiled; Palestine becoming a desolate wasteland; the gathering of the Jews from the nations by an ungodly Zionist secular government, the creation of Israel in a single day; the link between the Cuban Crisis and end of the Gentile Times, the miracle of the Six-Day war; the recovery of all the lands that had been ancient Israel in former times; the extraordinary events on the Temple Mount in 1967 - and so on. All of which was foretold by the Jesus and the prophets. In fact, what you will read is an extraordinary story, full of twists and turns, in which we see God intervening in human affairs as he ensures that His Divine Plan for the redemption of mankind through his Messiah continues unhindered. Whether you follow Judaism, Christianity or Islam, this is one book that you will not want to ignore.
