Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

In Eastern and Western Europe, there were hundreds of kehillos, most with a talmid chacham for a rav, a shul and beis midrash at the center of their lives, and no holidays but our own Yamim Tovim. So it was also in communities across North Africa and the Middle East- each community had its chacham; every child learned in cheder or with a melamed. It was highly unusual to find a Jew who would knowingly be mechallel Shabbos-even in private, but certainly not in public! There were no denominations of Judaism but Torah.At this time, the vast majority of the Jewish people have assimilated to the point of knowing nothing about their 3,000-year heritage. Extraordinary numbers have intermarried. How did this happen? Could it happen again? The Torah commands us, "Remember the days of old." If we don't learn the lessons that history teaches us, we leave ourselves open to the danger of repeating our ancestors' mistakes.In this book, the reader will see that it all started when our Jewish people became intoxicated with new freedoms that had been given them, and the overwhelming desire to blend into the culture of our alien hosts. About such things our Torah teaches, "I have separated you from the nations to be mine."
