This review is from: The Jewish World in Stamps: 4000 Years of Jewish Civilization on Postal Stamps (Hardcover)
As I recently started collecting postage stmps from Israel, I was thrilled to find this book. (I do not read Hebrew) Well made with beautiful full color illustrations this book covers 4000 years of Jewish history. It is a must have book for any serious collector. Dr. Ronald Eisenberg helped bring the people, places and celebrations of Israel to life. Well written and insightful, I highly recommend the book.

By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Jewish World in Stamps: 4000 Years of Jewish Civilization on Postal Stamps (Hardcover)
The Jewish World In Stamps: 4000 Years Of Jewish Civilization On Postage Stamps by Ronald L. Eisenberg is an amazing, full-color, 288 page volume that meticulously reproduces postage stamps portraying events and people throughout the whole of Jewish history. The Jewish World In Stamps ranges from biblical stories such as the tale of Esther, to the Diaspora, to rise of Zionism and establishment of the state of Israel, to Jewish traditions and values, to World Jewish Communities, to modern-day Jewish entertainers such as Groucho Marx. Succinct entries flesh out the background detail on the individual or story represented by each stamp, and the color illustrations are the next best thing to having an international stamp collection of one's own. The Jewish World In Stamps is an exciting and seminal work that makes both the world of stamp collecting and Jewish history itself come alive.
