We learn Jewish history not only to avoid the mistakes of the past, but to understand where our destiny is taking us.

An enormous amount of information in the Bible has been borne out by archeology, through indirect or circumstantial evidence.

By understanding the character of Abraham, the “proto-Jew”, one can understand what Jews are all about.
