result of a U.S.-Israeli publishing partnership, the
second edition of this important reference is now
available for a new generation.
In 1972, the Encyclopaedia Judaica fulfilled the
longstanding dream of capturing the full richness of
Jewish culture in a single authoritative publication,
heralded in the scholarly community as one of the best
reference works ever compiled. Today this treasured
resource has a new second edition, updating the
worldwide scope of Judaism's 5,700-year history.
Thousands of new entries grace the beautiful 22-volume
set. Designed for ease of use, with expanded imagery
portraying Judaism's worldwide scope, it's as ideal
for the home as the for finest university libraries.
The guiding principle of the editors of Encyclopaedia
Judaica Second Edition was to retain the broad, solid
scholarship of the original edition while giving voice
to the present generation. From the achievements and
contributions of Jewish women, to new Holocaust
awareness, from Jewish Law and Community Life, to
Popular Culture, the Encyclopaedia celebrates the
achievements of Jews and illuminates their history. |

History of the Encyclopedia Judaica
In 1928,
Nahum Goldman's Eshkol Publishing Society in Berlin
began publication of a comprehensive reference work
on the history and culture of the Jewish people. The
German-language Encyclopaedia Judaica was never
finished due to the Nazi takeover of power.
The original, pre-war ten volumes (Aach to Lyra) of
the first Encyclopaedia Judaica stand today as an
evocative and tragic reminder of the barbarism of
Hitler's Germany, enduring as a testament to the
intellect and spirit of European Jewry.
Goldman was the last surviving member of the editorial
board of the German-language Encyclopaedia Judaica.
Using funds he received as reparations, he helped
revive the Encyclopaedia Judaica, this time in
Israel. Work began on the project in 1966 at Keter
Publishing House in Jerusalem.
In 1972, more than 45 years after it was begun, the
first completed English language edition of
Encyclopaedia Judaica was finally released by Keter
and Macmillan Reference USA. Like its unfinished
predecessor, this Encyclopaedia aimed to provide an
exhaustive and organized overview of Jewish life and
knowledge. The 16-volume set was hailed as 'a work
of transcendent value' by Choice magazine and as "an
indispensable reference tool" by the Library Journal
review.
The American Library Association named the
Encyclopaedia Judaica a 'major reference work of the
20th century.' Now the second edition is here to
serve as a rich source of information on Jewish
thought and knowledge for a new century and a new
generation.

 The
Israeli Flag: The flag of Israel was adopted on
October 28, 1948, five months after the country's
establishment. It depicts a blue Star of David on a white
background, between two horizontal blue stripes. The blue
color is mandated only as "dark sky-blue",[1] and varies
from flag to flag, ranging from a hue of pure blue,
sometimes shaded almost as dark as navy blue, to hues about
75% toward pure cyan and shades as light as very light
blue.[2] The flag was designed for the Zionist Movement in
1891. The basic design recalls the Tallit, the Jewish prayer
shawl, which is white with blue stripes. The hexagram in the
centre is the Magen David ("shield of David"). It became a
Jewish symbol starting in late medieval Prague, and was
adopted by the First Zionist Congress in 1897.
