A uniquely wonderous educational tool where teachers, families, and the public can find diverse thematic pathways; from
biblical times through the 20th century; from the birth of civilization to the rebirth of the State of Israel. This is
not, however, a documentary solely about Judaism; it is instead an in-depth look at the history of Jewish interaction
with the world at large, a look at how Jews have shaped communities around them and how the communities around them have
shaped the Jews. Host Abba Eban, who has served as foreign minister of Israel and Israeli ambassador to the U.N., is
authoritative and knowledgeable in his explications. Using paintings, artifacts, modern cinematography of ancient sites,
readings, and theatrical music, Abba Eban brings drama and tension to events long past. The spanning of five millennia
necessitates at times briefer detail than a viewer may like, yet it also provides a sampling of history that may provoke
the viewer into seeking more information. This marvelous set should be experienced by anyone who desires a greater
understanding of the Western world and the role of the Jews in shaping it.



Described as, "a celebration of our common humanistic and moral heritage, exploring through the mysteries of
preservation, renewal, and resonance of the Jewish people." From the stony heights of Sinai to the shores of the
Dead Sea, from a Greek amphitheater in Delphi to the Forum of ancient Rome, out of the ashes of concentration camps to
the rebuilt cities and villages of Israel, Heritage brings to life the long and complex history of the Jews and their
centuries-old interaction with the rest of Western civilization.

From Abba Eban: "It is a matter of profound importance that audiences in the U.S. and around the world, both Jews
and non-Jews, can now experience through television and new technologies the long, continuous, somber, sometimes tragic,
yet noble story of the Jewish journey across the theater of history. The series and the new DVD-ROM examine, through art
and sculpture, writing and film, the miracle and mystery of Jewish history--self preservation, resonance, suffering and
renewal--and its impact on the spiritual and intellectual history of mankind."

***************************************************



The history of the Jews is a history of involvement: with Near Eastern and Classical civilization in the Biblical
period, with Christendom and Islam in the Middle Ages, with the nations of all the earth in modern times. It is a
history as old as civilization itself, and it is the history of the involvement of one people with civilization. The
involvement was total, complex and reciprocal. It was total in the sense that the Jewish people never enjoyed the luxury
of detachment: even when intermittently masters of in their own land, that land was the vortex of all surrounding lands
and shared their fates. It was complex in the Jewish people, before and above any other people, experienced the tension
of diaspora and homeland, a tension ever shifting but never resolved. It was reciprocal in that Judaism took, learned
and borrowed from the civilizations of other peoples – but at the same time contributed in essential respects to
civilization at all times and in many different places.

The interaction of Jewish history and Western civilization successively assumed different forms. In the Biblical and
Ancient periods, Israel was an integral part of the Near Eastern and classical world, which gave birth to Western
civilization. It shared the traditions of ancient Mesopotamia and the rest of that world with regard to it’s own
beginning; it benefited from the decline of Egypt and the other great Near Eastern empires to emerge as a nation in
it’s own right; it asserted it’s claim to the divinely promised Land of Israel and struggled to a precarious
independence there for a thousand years until forced to yield to the greater power of Greece and Rome.



In the Medieval era Jewish history took place on a larger stage, including all of Europe and the Mediterranean world.
Fewer and fewer Jews were able to remain on the soil of the Holy Land itself. For more and more of them, it became the
object of prayerful longing as they sought refuge in all the lands of the dispersion. Gradually the pious hope of a
return to the true homeland gave way to the more practical desire to participate in the life of their new surroundings.
But no matter how deeply the Jews became involved in the various lands of the dispersion, they faced the necessity of
being uprooted again and again. They became the classical example of a diaspora population: confined or committed to
intellectual or commercial pursuits; linked to their co-religionists in other lands through the bond of a common faith
as interpreted by rabbinic authority; and an ever yearning to live, or at least to die, in the Holy Land.



The contemporary pattern of Jewish life presents another model for it’s interaction with civilization. Where
previously that life had been concentrated successively in Israel and the diaspora, it is now balanced between the two.
Israel is once again politically sovereign, and it commands a central position in Judaism, both culturally and
emotionally. But equally significant centers of Jewish population and hence of Jewish cultural, religious, and political
activity exist in the United State, the Soviet Union and other parts of the diaspora. World Jewry, as always, continues
to gravitate towards the rising centers of world civilization and hence to play a part in the shaping of world events.
At the same time it lives in a creative tension with Israel. The interdependence of diaspora Jewry with the Israel on
the one hand and with world civilization on the other, characterizes the present scene and will no doubt influence yet
other patterns, whatever the precise shape they may take in the future

===== Episode Descriptions ====



9 part, 9 hour (540 minute) series originally released on 3 dual-sided DVDs or 5 VHS cassettes. Condensed onto a one
single-sided DVD5.



Episode 1: A People Is Born: This program profiles the life and culture of the ancient Near East--Egypt, Canaan and
Mesopotamia--and recalls the Exodus from Egypt in approximately 1250 B.C.E. (Before the Common or Christian Era) as a
crucial event in Israel’s self-conception and as a metaphor for all human freedom. In the experience of exile the
vision of the early Israelites was transformed, and the Jewish people was born. In Jewish tradition, this emergence from
Egypt has been celebrated by generation after generation in the springtime holiday of Passover, a festival of liberation
as passionately observed as any nation’s independence day. The liberated exiles saw the hand of a universal God.
All the world’s nations were linked in a common destiny, bound together by a moral law with inescapable
consequences.



Episode 2: The Power of the Word: This program begins in the abundant land of Babylon, where the exiled Jew of Judah had
settled after the conquest of Jerusalem by the Babylonian forces. Far from their homes in Judah, they were disoriented
and confused. But they had their own vision. They came to believe more profoundly than ever before that there was a
universal dimension to their faith--that their God extended to all lands, to all times. "It was here in Babylon
that Jewish scribes compiled the writings they had brought from Judah--the history, the laws, the legends for the Jewish
people and combined them with what had been passed down by word of mouth to form the first five books of the Bible--the
Torah," explains Mr. Eban in the program.



Episode 3: The Shaping of Traditions: In first century Rome Jews were scattered throughout the Mediterranean. Wherever
they lived, communities of Jews continued to obey the laws of their own land though it might be thousands of miles away.
By the year 135, the Roman armies of the Emperor Hadrian had crushed the land of Judea. A total of 580,000 Jews had been
killed in battles and raids. On the ruins of Jerusalem, a Roman city was built. The shrine to Jupiter was erected where
the Holy Temple had stood, and the teaching of Judaism became a capital crime. Emperor Hadrian obliterated the Jewish
state and renamed Judea, Palestine. The Shaping of Traditions chronicles the decline of this Roman Empire, a process
extending over four centuries, and shows how the Jewish faith continued to survive throughout these turbulent years.



Episode 4: The Crucible of Europe: The world of Islam, stretching from India in the East to the Iberian Peninsula in the
West, is where the majority of Jews lived. Here, in Islamic Spain, the Jews found a "Golden Age" in the 10th
and 11th centuries. An invasion of the Berber tribes from North Africa brought an end to this era of enlightenment. In
Northern Europe, the Latin Church was gradually consolidating its authority. For Jews, life in this Christian world was
attractive but often difficult, for the bitterness of religious differences between Jews and Christians had become
institutionalized. The Jewish people found themselves trapped in a politically and economically untenable position. 



Episode 5: The Search for Deliverance: This program picks up the thread of Jewish history as the intellectual awakening
of the Renaissance began to alter the attitudes and habits of all people. Copernicus, Tycho Brahe, Johanes Kepler,
Galileo, and other scholars began to examine the world around them with new eyes. Within the confines of the Venetian
ghetto, Jewish culture flourished. Jewish composers, artists and poets achieved fame that transcended the ghetto walls.
Spanish and Portuguese Jews who had escaped the persecution of the Spanish Inquisition, flocked to Amsterdam, known as
the "New Jerusalem" where refugees from religious intolerance were welcomed.



Episode 6: Roads from the Ghetto: The 19th century witnessed the rise of nationalism, romanticism, industrialism, and
socialism across the European continent. Jews were offered political equality and citizenship and new career
opportunities in the nations of Europe. Roads from the Ghetto also documents the infamous Dreyfus case in France, which
served as a springboard for "anti-Semitism"; the birth of Zionism and other modern expressions of Judaism; and
the waves of Jewish emigration from Europe toward the end of the 19th century. 



Episode 7: The Golden Land: The Golden Land describes one of the most important and exciting chapters in Jewish
history--the relationship between the United States and the Jewish people. Never before in their 3,000-year history, had
Jews made such a significant contribution to the shaping and growth of a country. The program examines the role of
American Jews from the days of George Washington. With the rise of anti-Semitism in Eastern Europe in the late 1800s, a
new chapter in the American Jewish story was written. Some two million Jews from all over Eastern Europe converged on
the United States from 1880 to 1920. The program captures in archival photos and rare documentary footage, the voluntary
"ghettos" in which they settled--cramped, dirty and unlit sections, the best known of which is New
York’s Lower East Side.



Episode 8: Out of the Ashes: "Out of the Ashes" comes the understanding that no one’s life can be
guaranteed without constant struggle. Belief in the ultimate ability of humankind to overcome the darkest, most brutal
of forces is the light which must carry us forward," declares Ambassador Eban in this haunting hour. Out of the
Ashes attempts to treat the Holocaust not only as a devastating memory of yesterday, but as a profound challenge for
today. The program concludes with the words of author Eli Weisel, noted author and Holocaust survivor: "We have all
the reasons in the world to despair and to give up on man and to give up on culture, on civilization, on language and
even on God. But we won’t permit it to happen. We have the reasons to do so, but we will not invoke them and, in
spite of everything, we shall go on believing." 



Episode 9: Into the Future: Although the Nazis had been defeated, the persecution of Jews continued in Eastern Europe
after World War II. Although many of the survivors found a haven in the United States, there were still many borders
closed to Jewish refugees. Their hope rested in the Middle East, in Palestine, part of the disintegrating British
Empire. The program examines Israel’s relationship to American Jews and modern Jewish communities elsewhere in the
world. It reviews the distribution and the state of Jews and addresses the long-range issues which confront them: the
lingering anti-Semitism in many countries; the crisis of Jewish identity in the United States and Israel; the crisis of
Palestinian relations in Israel; and the larger question of the role of the Jewish people in today’s rapidly
evolving world.
