I want to welcome everyone to the fifth book I've chosen to read.

And this one is called Jewish history, Jewish religion

by Israel Shahok.

The weight of 3,000 years is the subtitle.

I found out about this book by listening to the American Prove to series by Ron Uns.

Israel Shahawk is he was Jewish. He was hated roundly by Zionists. He was against the way they treated non-Jews and you know he'll get into it in the book

you'll you'll see the stories he tells he actually starts off with one just so you know that this isn't some book that's just like some

crank book. Some of the quotes here are from the first ones from Nome Chomsky.

He says Shahok is an outstanding scholar

with remarkable insight and depth of knowledge.

His work is informed and penetrating

a contribution of great value.

Christopher Hitchins had said

Shahok subjects the whole history of orthodoxy

to a hilarious and scrupulous critique.

The Jerusalem Times said the future

of the Palestinian people would have looked much brighter if there had been more Israelis like Shahok and outstanding personality.

The Catholic New Times said this is a remarkable book. It just deserves a wide readership not only among Jews but among

Christians who seek a fuller understanding of historical Judaism and of modern day Israel.

Gorvidal said Shahok is the latest,

if not the last of the great prophets.

So yeah, I have tons of notes on this just I mean
