Customer Reviews

Excellent, although somewhat out of date

This books provides an excellent and balanced portrait of Israel, but because it was published in 2000, its description of the peace process is somewhat out of date. Since the political issues take a back seat to culture and history in this book, this is still a very worthwhile purchase.

Excellent overview of Israel

This book gives the reader an excellent picture of Israel today including previous wars (except over the past year). It is written relatively simply so intermediate children can understand. Also included are a few important people with a paragraph or two about them. Excellent photos enhance the book. It is a great book to have in home, school and synagogue libraries. I plan to use it in the coming year teaching 4th-6th graders a unit on Israel in Hebrew school.
