Praise for Jewish Journeys
“This work, which summarizes a fascinating period in history in compelling visual and textual terms, clearly reflects your deep personal connection with Jewish history.  It also underscores your passion for sharing it with others as a means to foster ties of connection with our past, to enrich our Jewish present.  I wish you great success going forward, as you continue to bring the fullness of your energies and abilities, to promote the wholeness of our people.” - Isaac Herzog, President of the State of Israel “Any Jew who walks the length and breadth of Israel cannot help but be instilled with a true love of the land. One's love of the land is further strengthened with knowledge of its history. It is therefore imperative to have a book in your backpack that puts the landscape and biblical verses into historical context. Only then will you gain a physical, emotional, and intellectual attachment to the land. This is such a book." - Dr Ruth Calderon, Founder of Alma, Home for Hebrew Culture
“To appreciate the grandeur and majesty embedded in a richly lived Jewish life, we first need to know where we came from—the history of our people and how the Jewish past has shaped our view of the world. Tuvia Book has a unique gift for sharing the Jewish story with both clarity and passion; thanks to this wonderful book, students everywhere will have the privilege of calling him their teacher and guide.” - Dr Daniel Gordis, Koret Distinguished Fellow; Shalem College, Jerusalem “Combining traditional sources with the latest historical and archaeological findings, and intellectual rigor with passionate engagement, this book is an exquisite rendering of the Jewish story.” - Yossi Klein Halevi, Senior Fellow, Shalom Hartman Institute. “Tuvia Book presents a lively and engaging account of ancient Jewish history aimed at high school students and laypeople.  Authoritative and highly readable, this will be the “go to” book for the foreseeable future.” - Jodi Magness, Kenan Distinguished Professor, University of North Carolina.
"This book is a supremely accessible and essential introduction to Jewish history. Its content will appeal to all ages. I only wish this book was available when I was young." - Ambassador Dr Michael B. Oren “When I discovered my Jewish identity as a young man in the Soviet Union, Jewish history connected me to the Jewish past and empowered me to pursue a Jewish future.  I hope this book can offer the same feeling of connection and empowerment to our young generation.” - Natan Sharansky, Human Rights Activist, former Refusenik.
