Beyond Time and Place
In the year 1741 BCE, Abraham began his long journey from Haran to
Canaan - a journey which would change the history of the world and have
a profound effect on the development of most major religions.
Throughout the ages there has been a fascination with Jewish
history. People have questioned the "miracle of the continual
existence of the Jewish people" - this despite the almost
consistent world delight in their persecution and ridicule.
Studying history hopefully gives us a deeper understanding of
who we are and why we are here. It is in the spirit of making
Jewish history more meaningful and relevant that this site is
presented.
