A Sketch of Jewish History (Classic Reprint) by Gustav Karpeles Pdf
Excerpt from A Sketch of Jewish History A solitary little vessel is drifting on a vast ocean neither wind nor wave can do it harm. Oft times the mountain-high billows seem about to suck it into their swirl and sink it to the bottom Of the sea; but ever again it rides upon the crests of the waves, serenely sailing on in its course. Under this metaphor our sages of Old conceived the history Of Israel. Israel is the tiny craft sailing in loneliness across a boundless ocean. Again and again he seems about to be engulfed by the nations again and again it looks as though Israel were stricken forever from the list of the peoples Of earth, but he always reappears, rejuvenated, with added num bers, with increased strength.
