The landmark Encyclopaedia Judaica, lauded as the standard work on Judaism since first appearing in the early 1970s, has been extensively revised and expanded for this long-awaited new edition. Included in this new work are more than 21,000 signed entries on Jewish life, culture, history and religion, written by Israeli, American and European subject specialists. Expanding on the scope and relevance of this invaluable set are more than 2,600 brand-new entries, many focusing on gender issues and New World geographic areas of the United States, Canada and Latin America. Winner of the 2007 Dartmouth Medal, this 22-volume set presents the latest scholarship on historical topics, as well as extensive new treatments of contemporary Jewish life, including added emphasis on the role of women and explorations of the full global scope of the Diaspora. Each volume includes stunning 8-page full-color inserts that illustrate and enrich this unique resource on Judaism.
