Plays of Israel Reborn
(Grades 3-5)
By L. E. McCullough
Twelve original plays drawn from the flowering of Jewish culture during the Diaspora and the modern rebirth of Judaism worldwide—tales of Hasidic wit and wisdom, Midrash and Haggadah stories, legends of the Kaballah, Sephardic and Ashkenazic and more.
Description from Publisher
A worthwhile addition. These 12 plays explore the history and culture of the Jewish people during the Diaspora, beginning with their expulsion from the ancient land of Israel and culminating in the declaration of the modern Jewish state in 1948. They draw from a wide variety of Judaic sources, including the Kaballah, Midrash, holiday stories, folktales, and actual historical events. Several plays combine thematically similar elements gleaned from legend and lore; for example, "Nitwits and Numskulls: Outwitting the Oppressor" weaves together three different tales that celebrate the cleverness of the Jews in surviving social and political oppression. A few of the selections focus on important individuals such as the Baal Shem Tov and Theodor Herzl. Clearly written staging, casting, and costuming instructions accompany each play; in addition, the majority include a musical score consisting of one or more songs, mostly traditional Yiddish and Hebrew tunes but a few written by the author. Humor abounds, particularly in those plays that draw on Jewish folklore. However, the ones that depict historical moments are predictably more somber in tone, and occasionally seem too long to hold the interest of the intended audience. In addition, a few of the selections suffer from a repetitive format that quickly loses its luster. Still, the author encourages those producing these plays to use whatever creative means they have available to make them their own, and provides a worthy foundation toward that end.

The Dead Sea Scrolls
By Ilene Cooper
It's hard to know which is more amazing--that the artifacts known as the Dead Sea Scrolls survived for 2,000 years, or that their reported discovery, reassembly, and translation were accomplished despite the hurdles created by war-torn countries and the uncooperative acts of competing scientists. Cooper (Buddy Love, 1995, etc.) establishes both a timeline and a relative order to the chaotic events surrounding the story of the scrolls' discovery. As the story goes, they were found hidden in a cave by two Bedouin shepherd boys. Their tribe sold the scrolls to several different dealers, and also swept up scraps of the crumbling scrolls from the cave floors: This made the work of the scholars who studied the scrolls extremely tedious and frustrating. Some of the scholars became overzealous and refused to allow others access to the parts they were working on. The finding of the scrolls took place in 1947, but it wasn't until the 1990s that many of the texts became available publicly. Cooper unravels this tangled knot of information, jumping between ancient and more recent historical references, letting readers know when there are conflicting facts, and providing back matter that further reveals the complications of this archaeological enigma.
Description from Kirkus Reviews
In a clear, accessible text, Cooper relates the dramatic story of a Bedouin shepherd's chance discovery, the struggle by scientists and scholars to purchase the scrolls, the painstaking methods used to piece together the thousands of scroll fragments, and the current technology being used to analyze the documents. Photorealistic illustrations accompany this careful unearthing of an important episode in the field of archaeology.

Jerusalem
By Deborah Kent
Myriam Mendilow: Mother of Jerusalem
Do Not Forsake Me when I Grow Old
An inspiring book whose subject can be a role model for us all. Educated in
Palestine and France, Mendilow taught in the Alliance Schools for many
years. After her marriage, she learned English and eventually taught it in the
Hebrew University where her husband was a professor and administrator.
Upon returning to Jerusalem, she became aware of the poor, elderly Jews
from Eastern countries who sat idly around the marketplace, and decided to
open a club/workshop where they could regain their dignity and earn some
money. She later tackled other problems of the elderly poor, fighting for
health, dental, and foot-care clinics. She also originated the "Meals on
Wheels'' program. What is particularly appealing about this book is that it
shows what can be done through dedication and devotion at a grassroots
level to change a disastrous social situation. There are also interesting
descriptions of life in pre-state Israel. The writing is conversational and
anecdotal. Abundant, good-quality black-and-white photographs appear
throughout.

Israel : An Illustrated History
By Daniel J. Schroeter
Historic photos, archival documents, and art reproductions, together
with excerpts from primary sources, enrich this attractive volume,
which authoritatively plumbs Israel's long history. The initial
section traces the ancient Israelites from the prebiblical times of
the eleventh century BCE to the rise of Islam in the seventh century
CE. The second chapter picks up the account of Palestine for the next
1,300 years, a time of Muslim rule. Other chapters explore the rise of
Zionism and the persistent conflicts between Jews and Arabs over the
land, as well as the British influence in the strategic,
ever-volatile area. The role of Palestinian Jews during World War II,
the declaration of the modern state of Israel in 1948, and the crises
and achievements of the nation during its first 50 years occupy the
concluding chapters. Fascinating sidebars of information--e.g., about
the Mossad, Israel's internal security service; the ingathering of
Ethiopian Jews; the Zionist philanthropy of Baron Edmond de Rothschild --
help Schroeter compress telling details in his comprehensive coverage.
His insights into modern Israeli life are abundant and honestly
address the social and economic tensions and the pressing security
concerns of the culturally diverse nation. This up-to-date,
significant history will bolster library collections.

Basic Judaism for Young People :
Israel
By Naomi Pasachoff
Use concepts to teach history, stories to teach morality, heroes to teach values. The teachers
and sages of the past mastered this teaching strategy--and it is as appropriate today as it was
in talmudic times. The Basic Judaism series weaves together history, belief,
ritual, halachah, and tradition to convey the richly textured fabric of Jewish life.
This encyclopedic course can be taught in discrete units; includes photographs and artwork.
Contents include: Eretz Yisrael, Klal Yisrael, Yerushalayim, Tzionut, Aliyah,
Tzedakah, Bet Knesset, Pikuah, and Nefesh
Description from Publisher
Teddy Kollek,
Builder of Jerusalem
After only one year in office, Teddy Kollek was growing bored being mayor of Jerusalem;
then the 1967 Six Day War brought him monumental challenges. The war resulted in the
reunification of the ancient city, and Kollek became mayor not only of the newer, Jewish
portion of Jerusalem but also of the old city with its Arab residents and Christian, Muslem,
and Jewish holy places. Rabinovich conveys the persuasive and personal leadership style
and the unwavering dedication that earned Kollek respect as he oversaw Jerusalem's
reconstruction. Renowned for his 28-year tenure as Jerusalem's mayor, he led a productive
and full life prior to taking office. How he came to be a pioneer in Palestine, his work as a
secret agent for the Jewish Agency--the unofficial government of the Jewish people in Palestine --
helping European Jews escape Nazi clutches, and his job procuring weapons for the new
state of Israel make fast and fascinating reading. With generously, if sometimes disjointedly,
interspersed anecdotes of behind-the-scenes incidents and insights into Kollek's personality
and character, this biography will fill a gap in contemporary Israeli history collections.
