This is a very interesting book of history. It was able to confirm things I knew and opened me up to another world of what I didn't know. In learning the struggles of the Jews it gave me a different outlook on them.I like the explanation of the Reform, Conservative and the Orthodox.This is a very good book for beginners. This is a very easy read but is has a lot of information. Authors did a great job.
Professor Jonathan D. Sarna and Professor Jonathan B. Krasner combine their scholarly and teaching expertise in The History of the Jewish People Volume 1: Ancient Israel to 1880's America, an consumable textbook designed to involve junior high and high school students deeply and personally in the flow of history. Sample questions and observations with blank lines for the student to write in an answer include "Describe one way you may have influenced a non-Jew by teaching him or her about Judaism and Jewish culture", and "In what ways are modern ghettos similar to those that were first established for Jews? In what ways are they different?" Each chapter includes a historical overview, investigative questions for students to explore, key vocabulary words, maps, spotlights of famous personages, and "then and now" sidebars that encourage reflection. Full color illustrations enrich this interactive text created especially for young Jewish students.
Both this and Gevirtz's book are very helpful in teaching children as well as adults about Jewish history.
