About - Encyclopedia Judaica 2nd
Edition (Ship in USA)
Since 1972, the Encyclopaedia Judaica has been the leading
source for information on the Jewish people, the Jewish faith
and the state of Israel - how they have shaped and been
influenced by our world. As the result of a U.S.-Israeli
publishing partnership, the second edition of this important
reference is now available for a new generation.
In 1972, the Encyclopaedia Judaica fulfilled the longstanding
dream of capturing the full richness of Jewish culture in a
single authoritative publication, heralded in the scholarly
community as one of the best reference works ever compiled.
Today this treasured resource has a new second edition,
updating the worldwide scope of Judaism's 5,700-year history.
Thousands of new entries grace the beautiful 22-volume set.

Judaism's worldwide scope, it's as ideal for the home as the
for finest university libraries.
The guiding principle of the editors of Encyclopaedia Judaica
Second Edition was to retain the broad, solid scholarship of
the original edition while giving voice to the present
generation. From the achievements and contributions of Jewish
women, to new Holocaust awareness, from Jewish Law and
Community Life, to Popular Culture, the Encyclopaedia
celebrates the achievements of Jews and illuminates their
history.

History of the Encyclopedia Judaica
In 1928, Nahum Goldman's Eshkol Publishing Society in Berlin
began publication of a comprehensive reference work on the
history and culture of the Jewish people. The German-language
Encyclopaedia Judaica was never finished due to the Nazi
takeover of power.
The original, pre-war ten volumes (Aach to Lyra) of the first
Encyclopaedia Judaica stand today as an evocative and tragic
reminder of the barbarism of Hitler's Germany, enduring as a
testament to the intellect and spirit of European Jewry.
Goldman was the last surviving member of the editorial board
of the German-language Encyclopaedia Judaica. Using funds he
received as reparations, he helped revive the Encyclopaedia
Judaica, this time in Israel. Work began on the project in
1966 at Keter Publishing House in Jerusalem.
In 1972, more than 45 years after it was begun, the first
completed English language edition of Encyclopaedia Judaica
was finally released by Keter and Macmillan Reference USA.
Like its unfinished predecessor, this Encyclopaedia aimed to
provide an exhaustive and organized overview of Jewish life
and knowledge. The 16-volume set was hailed as 'a work of
transcendent value' by Choice magazine and as "an
indispensable reference tool" by the Library Journal review.
The American Library Association named the Encyclopaedia
Judaica a 'major reference work of the 20th century.' Now the
second edition is here to serve as a rich source of
information on Jewish thought and knowledge for a new century
and a new generation.
