Inform your students' lives with the richness of thousands of years of Jewish history, culture, and tradition. 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.

What was it like in the time of Jesus? What was Jesus really like? Did he really perform those miracles? In this book the author seeks to answer these questions and many others about the Jesus of history. The author centers on two main concerns: how much Jesus was a part of his Jewish culture, and how much he moved beyond this culture to new and unique insights. Tambasco explores the very human face of Jesus. This book will be a useful tool to undergraduates seeking an overview of the Jesus of history and his claims. To those in adult education the book presents a useful summary of the foundational Christian story and its teaching. To those outside of Christianity or to the non-committed the work will satisfy curiosity over why Jesus has attracted such a following. To all its readers the book tries to answer the basic questions: Who was Jesus of Nazareth? What would it have been like to meet him in history? What makes him so special?

Excerpt from Methods of Teaching Jewish History-Senior Grade The period of history covered in this volume is one of the most important in the annals of Israel. 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.
