We are invited to relive bygone years through a creative blend of significant milestones and little-known facts. Informative sidebars, &quot;Did You Know That?&quot; columns and special sections keep the reading fresh and interesting.<\/p>\n<p>Noted educator Rabbi Nachman Zakon covers the past two thousand years with a journalistic eye, recounting the deeds of heroes, scoundrels and common folk.\u00a0 He is careful to place every event on the Jewish calendar with the corresponding Common Era date, so that historic Jewish experiences can be<\/p>\n<p>viewed in the context of world events.<\/p>\n<p>From the miracle of Chanukah to the wonders of our day, the annals of Jewish history are filled with valor and fortitude.
