About this listen

If you want to discover the captivating history of the Jews, then pay attention....

The Jewish people are one of the oldest living people groups on the planet. The Jews lived alongside the ancient Egyptians, Babylonians, Phoenicians, and Sumerians - all of whom have since disappeared from the pages of history. Yet the Jews still remain. Despite all of the odds, Jewish culture, language, laws, and religion have remained intact over the course of thousands of years.

Even after being kicked out of their homeland and scattered all over the globe, the Jews were able to hold their customs close to their heart. While in exile, they developed special rules to live by through rabbinical works, such as the Talmud, which gave them a moral compass by which to live, no matter where they might end up. This was a great source of comfort for the Jewish people even while having to live in less than encouraging environments. Their traditions kept them strong.

Starting from the beginning, it is an excellent summary of the ongoing struggle of the Jewish people through history. This audio book is well written and worth getting if you want to learn more about this amazing chronicle of events. The account is enlightening if you are familiar with the Jewish story or not. I only wished the authors could have covered more of this unique story. The narration is also well done. I could easily listen to it again.

I found this a really interesting overview, but so much not said, it needs a further reading section.
Narrator was a little monotoned but not so much as to make listening to the book hard work

Too brief for me, probably needed something more focused and in depth. Simply chose wrong.

A summary, for the purposes of briefness didn’t go deep
