The Value Of A Jewish History Timeline Poster

By Anita Ortega


The evolution and religion of the Jews are inextricably tied together. A Jewish history timeline poster is the story about their relationship with Jehovah, as well as one of their development as a people and then a nation. In addition, the important events and dates are of interest to Christians, whose faith is based on that of the Jews, and to scholars in general.

Jews have endured as a people through centuries of turmoil and conflict, being expelled from their homeland of Israel again and again and scattered throughout the world. It's a remarkable story, and a timeline is helpful in keeping it straight. Israel was restored as a homeland for the Jews after World War II and is of extreme importance to the balance of power today.

History happens all over the world, and knowing what was going on in different places on a certain date is both fun and essential to true understanding. A graph that shows a narrow sequence of events or a broad overview is an easy way to follow through the years or to locate a certain occurrence for reference. A simple list is also good, but visual aids sometimes work better in a classroom.

The Jewish heritage begins at creation but really takes off when Abraham has the son God promised him. From Abraham and Sarah came the Jewish people. At the end of their enslavement in Egypt, their numbers had grown explosively. The story of their trek to the 'promised land' is known to most educated people. Their history is a turbulent one, filled with wars of conquest or against each other, great kingdoms that established peace for the people, and several dramatic expulsions from their homeland.

The Jews were expelled from their 'promised land' more than once and then scattered around the world, but they never lost their identity. This fact alone makes them unique; the persecution they faced would have destroyed most peoples. However, they endured to become a nation once more after World War II.

The religion evolved over the years and consists of both written and oral traditions. The dates of significant publishing events are noted on the timeline along with wars, awards, and accomplishments. The publication of various parts of the Torah is listed, as are Nobel prizes won by scientists and doctors.

The internet is a good place to get a basic understanding of what you can find in posters and to see images of them. Some are sold in fine art galleries or displayed in museums. Others can be downloaded on your cell phone. Several organizations which know the importance of these educational tools make them available.

Some can be downloaded for free. Others are beautifully illustrated and make great Bar/Bat Mitzvah gifts. This resilient people and their tiny nation - about the size of New Jersey - are of immense importance to the world, both in the past and today. From the time of Abraham to the tense situation in the Middle East today, Israel has been in the center of things whether they like it or not.
