Summary of Howard Fast's The Jews

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The Desert tribes were herdsmen, and their wealth was in sheep and goats. They moved often, from one sparse pasture to another, from one water hole to another. Their community was tribal, and their chief was the patriarch of the tribe, the ruler absolute, the dispenser of justice and lord of life and death.

#2 The Israelites were a collection of tribes that lived in the Sinai Peninsula. They were constantly looking over their shoulders at the pastures of Eden, which were well guarded by powerful cities and disciplined armies.

#3 The Beni-Yisrael were shepherds who grazed their herds upon the land of milk and honey, but they were not strangers to it. They had touched and rested on places that were sacred to them, and they had built stone altars for worship.

#4 Without Moses, the Jews are unthinkable. He was the Jew, and in due course this will be explained. Moses was the Jew, and he stepped into history as the Jew.
