Lefcourt, Jack . FOUR THOUSAND YEARS OF JEWISH HISTORY: THEN AND NOW. Ktav,
2009. 108 pages. ISBN: 978-1-60280-132-5. Elementary, Middle-School.
4,000 years of Jewish history are condensed to 108 pages,
all of them heavily illustrated. The organization is chronological,
beginning with Abraham and ending with a section that addresses Jewish
identity around the world. Pages are arranged in horizontally oriented
blocks of text accompanied by at least one illustration or photograph. The
coverage is quite brief but a generally accurate summary of the long Jewish
journey is given by Lefcourt's informal writing style and graphic
techniques. Unfortunately, there is no documentation and no index so the
book's reference value is nil.
Leiman, Sondra . ATLAS OF JEWISH COMMUNITIES, THE: A VOYAGE THROUGH
HISTORY. UAHC Press, 2002. 218 pages. ISBN: 080740818. Elementary,
Middle-School.
An informative book, similar to a textbook, that covers the Diaspora
experience - from the fall of the Second Temple to modern day Israel.
Entries are wide-ranging and clearly written. Lists of sources are valuable
for further research. Attractive and accessible.
