Indiana Jones meets The Da Vinci Code in an old Egyptian synagogue--the amazing story of one of the most important discoveries in modern religious scholarship. In 1896, Rabbi Solomon Schechter of Cambridge University stepped into the attic of the Ben Ezra Synagogue in Cairo, Egypt, and there found the largest treasure trove of medieval and early manuscripts ever discovered. He had entered the synagogue's genizah--its repository for damaged and destroyed Jewish texts--which held nearly 300,000 individual documents, many of which were over 1,000 years old. Considered among the most important discoveries in modern religious history, its contents contained early copies of some of the Dead Sea Scrolls, early manuscripts of the Hebrew Bible, and other sacred literature. The importance of the genizah's contents rivals that of the Rosetta Stone, and by virtue of its sheer mass alone, it will continue to command our attention indefinitely. This is the first accessible, comprehensive account of this astounding discovery. It will delight you with its fascinating adventure story--why this enormous collection was amassed, how it was discovered and the many lessons to be found in its contents. And it will show you how Schechter's find, though still being "unpacked" today, forever transformed our knowledge of the Jewish past, Muslim history and much more.

"Properly, the Jew ought hardly to be heard of; but is heard of, has always been heard of. His contributions to the world's list of great names in literature, science, art, music, finance, medicine, and abstruse learning are also way out of proportion to the weakness of his numbers. He has made a marvelous fight in this world, in all ages; and has done it with his hands tied behind him. He could be vain of himself, and be excused for it." -Mark Twain Even Mark Twain would be surprised that with only 0.2% of the world's population, Jews have been awarded almost one out of four of all Nobel Prizes in medicine, physics, and chemistry, while American Jews have received 37% of U.S. awards. This vastly disproportionate number of Nobel Prize winners highlights Jewish achievement and contributions to mankind. The Super Achievers examines such topics as: - The rarified world of Nobel Prizes - Lives and discoveries of groundbreaking Jewish laureates - Prizewinners' origins, family and educational backgrounds - Factors that may explain Jewish exceptionalism - Tectonic shifts: Where Jews live now and where they used to live - How America benefited from scientists who fled Nazism - Barriers to Breakthroughs: The Jewish American experience - Women who won Nobel Prizes in science - The rise of Israel as a world science and technology powerhouse - Are science and religion compatible? - Nobel science awards around the world You'll also discover... - The first American to receive a Nobel Prize in science-a Jewish Naval officer - The German Jewish inventor of poisonous gas used in extermination camps - Einstein's Nobel Prize was not for the Theory of Relativity - Why Jonas Salk did not receive a Nobel Prize - The 18-year-old Harvard student who was recruited to work on the atomic bomb project - The Nobel physicist who solved the mystery of the Challenger space disaster - The physician whose death was kept a secret so he could win a Nobel Prize - An entrepreneurial laureate whose discoveries led to creating major pharmaceutical companies - The oldest Nobel science prize winner-a ninety-six-year-old in 2018 - The Nobel physicists who had to wait fifty years to have their findings corroborated . . . and much more

This volume inaugurates the publication of the series of biblical Dead Sea Scrolls written in the Jewish (or `square') script that were discovered in Cave 4 at Qumran. It contains twenty-six manuscripts of the books of Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, and Numbers. These Hebrew texts antedate by a millenium what had previously been considered the earliest surviving biblical manuscripts in the original language. They document a pluriformity acceptable in the ancient biblical textual tradition that formed the basis for the Samaritan Pentateuch and helps to illumine the historical and theological relationship between the Jews and the Samaritans. Superior textual variants from these manuscripts have been adopted in recent revised translations of the Bible.

Archaeology and Bible--two simple terms, often used together, understood by everybody. But are they understood properly? If so, why are both subject to such controversy? And what can archaeology contribute to our understanding of the Bible? These are the problems addressed by Professor Dever in this book. Dever first looks at the nature and recent development of both archaeology and Biblical studies, and then lays the groundwork for a new a productive relationship between these two disciplines. His “case studies” are three eras in Israelite history: the period of settlement in Canaan, the period of the United Monarchy, and the period of religious development, chiefly during the Divided Monarchy. In each case Dever explores by means of recent discoveries what archaeology, couples with textual study, can contribute to the illumination of the life and times of ancient Israel. Given the flood of new information that has come from recent archaeological discoveries, Dever has chosen to draw evidence largely from excavations and surveys done in Israel in the last ten years--many still unpublished--concerning archaeology and the Old Testament. Dever’s work not only brings the reader up to date on recent archaeological discoveries as they pertain to the Hebrew Bible, but indeed goes further in offering an original interpretation of the relationship between the study of the Bible and the uncovering of the material culture of the ancient Near East. Extensive notes, plus the use of much new and/or unpublished data, will make the volume useful to graduate students and professors in the fields of Biblical studies and Syro-Palestinian archaeology, and the seminarians, pastors, rabbis, and others. This book provides stimulating, provocative, and often controversial reading as well as a compendium of valuable insights and marginalia that symbolizes the state of the art of Biblical archaeology today.

"An interesting contribution to the Columbian literature of the period." - The Book Buyer: A Monthly Review of American and Foreign Literature "Will be new territory to most readers ... the author has fulfilled his hope of furnishing a 'contribution to the history of the discovery of America and to the history of the Jews.'" - The Review of Reviews "A book of high literary and historical value ... written in an interesting style." - The Literary World The curious relationship which Columbus' discovery has with the Jews in Portugal and Spain, is the subject of Dr. Meyer Kayserling's 1894 book "Christopher Columbus and the Participation of the Jews in the Spanish and Portuguese Discoveries." Dr. Kayserling's book fairly teems with new discoveries of facts in the history of the Jews of Spain and Portugal and their participation in the work of the discoverers of those nations. The book, under consideration is admirably translated by Professor Charles Gross (1857-1909) of Harvard. As for the characteristics of the work itself, it would be presumptuous to praise Dr. Kayserling's writings. His profound scholarship, historical acumen, conscientious love of accuracy and truth, and vigorous style, are well known to all students of Jewish literature. Meyer Kayserling (1829 - 1905) was a rabbi and historian, who studied the history and literature of the Jews of the Iberian Peninsula. As Kayserling notes there is some evidence that Columbus himself was of Spanish-Jewish origins; Kayserling gives a full review of this evidence. The forced contributions of the Jews, historians have made note of before this, but Dr. Kayserling, who has carefully studied the records in Spain, produces much new evidence relating to individual Jews, who by their teachings or personal exertions were of singular help to Columbus. The work is distinguished for its impartiality. Kayserling writes: "FEW mortals have been honored by posterity as much as Christopher Columbus. The question whether the Jews assisted in these discoveries has already heretofore been propounded, but it has never before been carefully investigated. Entrusted with this honorable but difficult mission, I determined to visit Spain in order to complete my collection of material by exploring the Spanish archives and libraries. Such documents as I found there, I transcribed. They have been used with care in the text. I trust that I have succeeded in making a contribution to the history of the discovery of America and to the history of the Jews, to whom America has been a land of refuge, a land of freedom and of equality." The present work forms a valuable addition to Jewish history, to Spanish history, and to the history of American discovery, and no library devoted to either of these subjects can afford to be without it.
