The Siberian Refugee who "re-invented" the Bible

By Yitzhak Salomon

During the 1970s, Rabbi Mordechai Eliyahu served as Sephardi Chief Rabbi of the State of Israel. Here is the endorsement he penned in recognition of Eliezer Shulman's magnum opus,
"The Sequence of Events in the Old Testament"

"Eliezer Shulman arranged his chronologies based on the order of Creation in the Bible, fully substantiated by the Midrash - biblical exegesis - of our sages. Anyone reviewing Eliezer's work stands in awe and reverence of the profound scholarship, ingenuity and diligence invested in this monumental project. This feat is magnified tenfold, when we are informed that this magnum opus originated in the abysmal darkness of the Siberian exile under the nose of a godless Bolshevik regime. May God bless Eliezer Shulman to see the fruits of his labors, for he toiled long and hard to compile this enormous volume of intricate information in a format accessible with ease and clarity. Let all students and researchers, who wish to fully grasp the historical chronologies of our people come and imbibe from the fountains of the living Torah unleashed by Eliezer Shulman."

As they struggled to decipher the concealed intricacies of antiquity, one can only imagine how scholars, researchers and historians of past centuries must be painfully envious of our generation; for we stand on the shoulders of a giant - Eliezer Shulman, who, single-handedly, toiled tirelessly in the abysmal darkness of the Siberian exile so that we can see the light forevermore. Armed with Shulman's crafty chronological constructs, we are able to report on ancient history with unbounded confidence. Eliezer's Biblical charts, tables, maps, diagrams and graphs illuminated by the exactitude of his prodigious consistently meticulous handwriting reflect the mind of a rare and unassuming genius.
