About this title

Synopsis

This one-volume Encyclopedic Dictionary of Judaica is designed as a handy reference work giving basic facts and figures. Its many entries, maps, lists, charts, etc., provide quick information covering all topics of Jewish interest from antiquity to the present day. It is a guide to the Bible, to Israel old and new, to Jewish communities throughout the world, to famous Jews — both within a Jewish context and as contributors to world culture — to Jewish concepts and customs, to Jewish history and literature — and to many more subjects. In addition, a further, vivid dimension is introduced by the wealth of illustrative material.
