Author's Note: “What makes this series so unique is that it puts Jewish history into perspective. We can see ourselves in the ‘big picture’ - how we fit into nearly 4,100 years of Jewish survival. Who are we as Jews? How, and why we have survived so long? What is our purpose? And what is Jewish Destiny? It tells us - especially our children, and our grandchildren, that despite the trials and tragedies, there are triumphs - and that knowing where we come from - will help us understand where we are going” Rabbi Berel Wein
