ABOUT: What is history? The dictionary defines it as a chronological record and explanation of significant events in the life of a people. Yet if one looks beyond the public images and politics, there is a far more fascinating form of history, revealed in the thoughts and everyday experiences of individual men and women. In This I Believe: Documents of American Jewish Life, distinguished scholar Jacob Rader Marcus explores this subtle, personal side of the history of American Jews. He carefully and critically analyzes ninety-one documents on ethics and ideals letters, ethical wills, bar mitzvah speeches, the spirited declarations of notables that penetrate the souls of their authors. What are the goals and dreams of average American Jews, immigrant and native, as reflected in their writings? What did they have to say to their dear ones when they poured out their innermost thoughts and concerns? What have been the ultimate mainsprings of hope and desire in the hearts of American Jewish parents? These are the vital questions that the author chronicles and answers in this book. 'The Jewish literature that has concerned itself with good and evil began with the Hebrew Bible and then moved on to include the Apocrypha, the pseudepigrapha, talmudic and rabbinic tomes, medieval philosophic, legal, and ethical works, and a host of modern writings," Dr. Mar-cus states in his introduction. In the first part of this work, he traces this evolution, examining how the writings of each era portrayed the beliefs and lifestyles of Jewish people at that time. Signed by Author(s).
