Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: An excellent educational tool Comment: This work contains biographical portraits of some of the most important figures in Jewish history. The book is written with a clear factual tone, and provides accurate information on the entries. It is a kind of short encyclopedia and I believe an excellent educational tool in the Jewish people's struggle to deal with their own ignorance about themselves and their history. I suppose one element of reading such works is a certain ' pride ' if one is Jewish at knowing that one is somehow connected , belongs to the same people as the distinguished person in question. I think the authors were wise in choosing people whose actions are generally considered valuable contributions to the Jewish people and mankind as a whole. This work should be of real pleasure to anyone who takes interest in Jewish culture and history. Customer Rating: Summary: Great for a brief history Comment: This book is an excellent book. It covers information about many different men who have played important roles in Judaism, from Abraham to David Ben Gurion. The book is good if you are looking for a 2-3 page biography and certain highlights of a person's career, but could not be used as an only reference for a research project. Overall, the Slaters have created a good book documenting important aspects of Jewish history. Customer Rating: Summary: Great Jewish Men Forgot Albert Einstein Comment: I think the book was ok, but it left out a very important jewish person. That important person is Albert Einstein. As I finished this book I realized that it did not have Albert Einstein in it. That was very dissapointing. So, in conlusion, I would give this book 3 stars because it left out the amazing Albert Einstein. More Reviews
