Religious and Secular: Conflict and Accommodation between Jews in Israel The term haredi (pl. haredim) literally means fearful and recalls the spiritual reference to the righteous person who fears the word of God. In the nineteenth century the term was a synonym for an Orthodox Jew. Today, in Israel, religious (Orthodox) Jews are divided into religious-Zionists, also called national-religious, and haredim, whom the press refers to as `ultra-Orthodox`. |

| Content: |
From a fully emancipated, comfortable life in pre-Hitler Germany to the horror of Kristallnacht, the book describes a last minute escape from the Holocaust by the children on the Kindertransport and by the parents via Siberia, to a life on three continents. The book includes excerpts from several historical diaries, including a personal diary written on the German front lines during World War I; a young girl's diary begun in Germany by the author's sister in the 1930s, continued in England and ending in colorful Ecuador where the family found temporary refuge; and extracts from a diary kept by the head of the Jewish community of Bamberg. Lavishly illustrated with photographs and maps, this personal history of one Jewish family is a microcosm of the fate of the Jewish people.

Human history has been completely transformed in the twentieth century. Events have occured that never occured before. The laws of nature have not been altered, but basic changes have taken place in the patterns of history and in relations between peoples. The conditions of human life have been transformed, and with them the abilities of man, his spiritual and political world, his social, cultural, and economic existence. Developments once inconceivable, both good and evil, can today strike us and others.
Though Jewish history is unique, it does not exist in a vaccum. It is part of overall human history, subject to the same vicissitudes; just as the character of mankind has changed, so has that of the Jews. Another book you may enjoy: Ben Gurion looks back |

| Content: |
These two volumes present Alon's fresh look at the factors which enabled the Jews of Judaea to live through some very difficult times. They underwent a prolonged struggle with the civilization and power of the Greco-Roman world. They were hit by a major religious schism. And they suffered the loss of their independence. Alon's ideas on how they survived these blows often differ from those of his predecessors. The two volumes include Alon's analysis of such matters as the recovery of the Jewish people after the destruction of Jerusalem; the political struggle within ancient Jewry; the development of Talmudic law; economic and social factors in ancient Judaea; the Bar Kokhba War; and Jewish autonomy under Roman rule. Translated and edited by Gershon Levi.

| Opening: |
To the generations that came after it, the period of Jewish history we are about to discuss was especially noteworthy because it was the era that created Talmudic Judaism, thus enabling the people to survive for century after century in Diaspora, without a homeland of its own. Before very long, the liturgy of the synagogue would proclaim:
Naught has been left us,Save only this, our Torah. Small wonder then, that the centuries in which the Mishnah and the Talmud were fashioned should come to be perceived as all of one piece with the subsequent should come to be perceived as all of one piece with the subsequent generations of wandering and exile.

In the Vilna Ghetto during World War II, Nazi Commandant Schoger demands that all children be sent to the death camp. When Abraham Lipman pleads with him to spare their lives, Schoger reconsiders, and tells Lipman there will be a chess match between himself and Lipmans only surviving son, Isaac, a chess prodigy. If Isaac wins, the children will live, but Isaac will die. If Isaac loses, the children will die, but Isaac will live. "And if there is a stalemate?" Commandant Schoger brushes that possibility aside with "In such a case, then both your son and the children will be permitted to survive." Translated from the Lithuanian by Jonas Zdanys.

The cultural and historic relationships between Egypt, Sinai and Canaan in the Biblical period have been dramatically illuminated by archaeological discoveries during the past decade. The symposium papers included in this volume deal with finds in the Egyptian delta, at the turquoise mines in Sinai, along the north Sinai trade route and in the land of Canaan.

Could the allies have destroyed the gas chambers of Auschwitz-Birkenau in 1944, saving the lives of tens of thousands of Holocaust victims? Could the allied forces have cut the railway lines leading to Auschwitz, disturbing the transportation of the Hungarian Jews to their deaths? For years these questions have been debated. This book brings together the key contributors to this debate, with new and original articles by eminent historians of World War II and the Holocaust, and a selection of the most important documents and aerial reconnaissance photos from 1944.

From the earliest beginnings of Zionism in Southern Africa, the yearning to return to the Jewish homeland was not just a pious hope. The cynicism that Zionism is a movement enabling Jews living comfortably in one land, to send relucant Jews from another land to Israel has never applied to the policy of the S.S, Zionist Federation, which always supported aliyah as the supreme expression of Zionism.
