This diagram shows the principal landmarks of Jewish history from the very beginning to the present day. Secondly, on the reverse side of the diagram, readers will find articles on special aspects of Judaism, its history, background, and customs. Thirdly, at the back of the book is an illustrated series of chapters enlarging upon specific stages and certain aspects of Jewish history.
