The history book you've been waiting for Sondra Leiman's The Atlas of Great Jewish Communities is an adventure that begins in Jerusalem in the first century and ends, hundreds of years later, in modern-day Israel. Colorful maps. Intriguing sidebars. Personal tales. Primary texts. This is much more than a textbook. It's an interactive experience in Jewish history.Designed for the fifth and sixth grade, The Atlas of Great Jewish Communities focuses on individuals as much as it does on events. Students meet such famous figures as Rabbi Judah ha Nasi, who collected the writings that make up the Mishnah, Bruriah, a Talmudic sage, Rambam, one of the greatest Jewish philosophers, Maria Nunes, who saved a group of her fellow conversos, and Eliezer Ben Yehuda, who wrote the first modern dictionary of the Hebrew language. In becoming acquainted with such people, students learn of the Jewish past and come to see it as very much their own. -- User-friendly format -- Personal stories -- Colorful maps and pictures -- Primary sources -- Ideal introduction to Jewish history

This atlas traces the history, the worldwide migrations, the achievements, and the lives of the Jewish people from ancient Mesopotamia to the present day. It is the product of remarkable research and sheds a vivid light on the role of the Jews in their different national settings, their complex history, their reaction to persecution--whether by dispersal, acceptance, or defense--and their enormous contribution to human experience in many fields over almost four thousand years. The atlas illustrates the enterprise and normalities of Jewish life as well as the perpetual and irrational violence that has pursued Jews in every century and to almost every corner of the globe.

Lithuanian Jewish Communities is a remarkable resource for students of Lithuanian Jewish history and for people descended from Lithuanian Jews. This volume lists, in alphabetical order, the major Jewish communities that existed in Lithuania before World War II. The name of each community is accompanied by information about it: when it was founded, the Jewish population in different years, shops and synagogues, and the names of citizens. An appendix locates each town on a map of Lithuania. Since most of the Jewish communities in Lithuania were destroyed in the Holocaust, this volume will be a valuable tool in recreating a picture of Lithuanian Jewry. Other appendices provide member lists from Lithuanian Jewish organizations throughout the world and list agencies that will provide help in further research on Lithuanian Jewry. Descendants of Lithuanian Jews who wish to trace their genealogy will be greatly helped by Lithuanian Jewish Communities.
