Teaching Jewish History tackles separately each of the key Jewish historical periods-Biblical, Rabbinic, Medieval, Early Modern, Enlightenment, and Modern, as well as the North American Jewish experience. The authors shift focus away from rote memorization of dates, names, and places, and instead examine each period through the lens of core historical concepts-the Diaspora, Covenant, acculturation, assimilation, and building community. History comes to life, helping students whether elementary, middle or high school, or adult develop a stronger Jewish identity. Teaching Jewish History gives teachers the tools to: Understand and explain the meaning of key concepts, terms, names, places, and events in each period of history. Identify and examine primary source documents and objects such as artifacts, diaries, sacred texts, photographs, and artwork. Conduct meaningful discussions of how the core concepts of Jewish history recur in and are relevant to each historical period. Develop a variety of activities including field trips, mock trials, oral histories, and role-playing activities. Place historical events on a timeline. Use additional historical and educational resources such as books, articles, videos, and Internet sites. Teaching Jewish History is an invaluable resource for the novice and the expert teacher of religious and day school children and for educators working with adults in synagogues, community centers, and family education programs.

It is very desirable that it should be rightly understood and presented by the teacher. It represents the realization of the promises given to the patriarchs, and of the purpose for which their descendants were redeemed out of Egypt. The consciousness of tribal identity, while never entirely lost, becomes, during this period, subordinated to the sense of national unity. The several tribes begin to realize that they are one people, with a common past, a common ancestry and a common heritage, a common hope and a common duty. In response to this they present, for a hundred years, a united front to their common enemies, to subdue them, and to make themselves a powerful, wealthy and formidable nation. It was the high-water mark of their national existence. Never again were the twelve tribes of Israel assembled as one nation under one government. The political aspect of this period, in which a number of loosely cohering tribes became compacted into one people, while interesting, presents no unique phenomenon. It was an experience which the Israelites enjoyed in common with other peoples. Its spiritual significance, however, is very great. The sense of religious unity lay deep, but latent. Tremendously influenced and intensified by this century of close political cohesion, it has never since been destroyed. It survived the shocks of rebellion, subjugation and captivity.
