Terriffic resource!

I've used by copy over and over for years-- its for children but I use it myself. This is a giant oversized book gives an excellent visual overview of Jewish history, beginning approximately 5,000 years before the birth of Christ and ending with the present time. A time line summarizes the text and places Jewish history in the context of general world history. Includes 300 photographs, maps, charts, and drawings.
