Get A Jewish History Timeline Poster

By Anita Ortega


The evolution and religion of the Jews are inextricably tied together. A Jewish history timeline poster is the story about their relationship with Jehovah, as well as one of their development as a people and then a nation. In addition, the important events and dates are of interest to Christians, whose faith is based on that of the Jews, and to scholars in general.

From the establishment of the race as a people by Abraham (and God) to the present day conflicts in the Middle East, the Jews have been displaced by famine, brought out of slavery in Egypt against all odds, led to a land that was promised them, enjoyed times of peace and prosperity, and seen many wars, both internal and with surrounding nations. Timelines capture many of the events that people are familiar with and put them in order. It's a great educational tool for anyone.

A chart of important events in chronological order is a great educational tool. Posters are usually graphic, although a simple list does the job, too. Students of historic and religious heritage use them to understand trends that shaped our culture and that will affect it in future. Some ancient dates are scholars' best guesses, although many have archaeological discoveries to back them up. These charts also help see the relevance of concurrent events that happened all over the world.

Creation is the beginning of this story, but the race is established about 2000 BC when Abraham and Sarah leave their native land to follow their God. They have a son, Issac, whose son Jacob has twelve sons who became twelve tribes. At the end of 400 years of slavery in Egypt, the population has exploded. Most people are familiar with at least the outline of the exodus and the 40-year trek to the 'promised land.'

The Jews became scattered over the face of the earth, but they never lost their identity. They lived at times in peace in England and Europe, but were expelled over and over from different countries. However, they were invited into others. Over the years, they suffered terrible persecution including - but not only - the Holocaust under Hitler, and finally were once again established in Israel after the Second World War.

Throughout a long history of rise and fall, the Jewish holy books and their laws were developed and finally written and printed. These significant dates are recorded on historic timelines, along with wars and such things as Nobel prize awards. The development of the people and the nation of Israel is also the evolution of their religion; one cannot be separated from the other.

The internet is a good place to get a basic understanding of what you can find in posters and to see images of them. Some are sold in fine art galleries or displayed in museums. Others can be downloaded on your cell phone. Several organizations which know the importance of these educational tools make them available.

You can even download them off line to your computer or phone for free. Organizations that celebrate the identity of the Jews want the world to know more about them as a people and as a force in history and current events. For a nation about the size of New Jersey in the US, Israel has had a lot of influence and attracted a lot of attention.
