Dear Librarians NEW TILE FROM GEFEN PUBLISHING HOUSE: The Jerusalem Book of Quotations A 3,000 Year Perspective Jack Friedman ISBN: 978-9652293923 Format: Hardback 288 pages Publish date: July 2007 Publisher: Gefen Publishing House Price: $24.95 http://www.israelbooks.com/bookDetails.asp?book=604 See what else is new at Gefen's Website http://tinyurl.com/yv4tba DESCRIPTION: Perhaps no other city has been spoken of as often or as passionately as Jerusalem. The Jerusalem Book of Quotations brings together the kaleidoscopic impressions and perspectives of a representative group of those who have responded to the wonder of the Holy City from the biblical period to the present: Jews, Christians, and Muslims; pilgrims as well as skeptics, travelers, conquerors, scholars, and statesmen. The work gives expression to the discordant notes of contrasting perspectives about the meaning of Jerusalem. At the same time, it reflects the city's unique distinction as the embodiment of mankind's highest ethical and spiritual aspirations.
