The Jewish Time Line Encyclopedia

By Máttis Kantor and MGattis Kantor

Book Overview

Beginning with the creation of the universe in the Jewish year (3760 B.C.E.) and ending with the Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon in 5745 (1985). This volume employs chronologies and time lines to convey Jewish history's people and events. Kantor writes from the perspective of a traditional Jew, covering events such as the Flood, giving of the Torah, and the fall of the Tower of Babel, placing these within the chronology of history along with the Spanish Inquisition, the Holocaust, and the founding of the State of Israel.

A must have tool for the serious scholar

My title says it all. Mattis Kantor has composed the richest collection of information available on the subject of Jewish (and world) history. The reader will discover a wealth of knowledge that gives detail yet is easily referenced. Beautiful work. If a person is a true scholar then no collection is complete without this book.
