Description
The Jewish Odyssey charts the course of Judaism from its origins in Mesopotamia to its role in the world today. This book addresses the extent of Jewish suffering over the years, as well as the lasting contributions of Jews in fields such as science, politics, philosophy, and the arts. Halter further covers the delicate state of inter-dependencies that exists between the significant Jewish Diaspora and the state of Israel today, and covers a range of contemporary issues.
