Title Summary
Looking up one entry in this easy-to-use reference book may lead to an extended period of pleasant browsing. The book begins with a brief chronology and glossary, a concise historical introduction, and an alphabetical list of entries; and includes almost 4000 concise descriptions of individuals from ancient times to the present day. These are individuals who are Jewish by birth or conversion, as well as Jews who converted to a different religion, who have made major contributions to Jewish life and thought, or have played an important role in modern history. Some entries are a little too brief; for example: "Ginsberg, Allen (1929-97) American poet. He was born in Newark, New Jersey. His work includes Kaddish."
