About this Book
A collection of biographies of Jewish greats - scholars, teachers and leaders - from the period of the Geonim (year 600) until and including the 20th century. Their life stories, their writings and teachings of both the revealed and esoteric parts of the Torah. Their journeys from east to west and north to south - from Babylon to Spain and Portugal, from Egypt, the Holy Land and Turkey, to Italy, France, Germany, Poland, Holland and England, from the Arabian, Peninsula to North Africa and to Khazaria and finally to the shores of America. The Golden Age of Spain, the Inquisitions and pogroms - the glory and the challenges - their bright light shone throughout.
