"In
the Spotlight"
Imagine taking a semester-long course on the complete history
of Israel, from the days of Genesis to events as recent as
January 2007. Imagine also that there is a week-long field
trip to Israel as part of this class. The professor is a young,
attractive, and extremely knowledgeable woman, and the class
is composed of an ethnically-diverse group of highly-motivated
students. Finally, imagine that this entire experience can
be yours for the price of $19.95, and it can be carried around
easily in a briefcase or backpack. Are you interested? If
so, head to your nearest bookseller and get this amazing book.

"Judaic
Studies Shelf"
A superbly illustrated history … Exceptionally easy
to understand … Of special note is how the authors,
while writing from a Jewish perspective, have also drawn upon
non-Jewish narratives as well, giving "Homeland"
an historical context with respect to contemporary Middle
East issues. "Homeland: The Illustrated History of the
State of Israel" is a welcome and enthusiastically recommended
addition to personal, school, and community library collections.
