Heritage - Civilization and the Jews Customer Reviews (1 - 3 of 8 Reviews)

An illuminating survey
Abba Eban was not only the most accomplished and articulate of all Israeli diplomats, he was also a person of immense learning and intelligence. Had he wished he could have taken a different road in life and become like his close friend, Bernard Lewis, a great scholar. Instead he made a certain sacrifice and devoted his life to the cause of helping the Jewish state come into being and survive.
This nine- part series is not concentrated on Israel but rather is a survey of Jewish civilization. Eban tries to show us how Jews interacted with the surrounding world, both learning and giving to the larger native socieities. From Babylon and Egypt to the Western Civlization of the present day Eban relates a story of a small people's long journey and meetings with others.
This is an illuminating survey and will give anyone who wishes to know more about Jewish life and history a real opportunity to do so.

heritage
this documentry tells the story of the jews from anicent times to the present day. and yet there is no documentry that tells the story of tthe muslims even though there are several laws saying that PBS AND OTHER PUBLIC BROADCASTING STATIONS HAVE TO.there is no documentry about the arabs from PBS to date that tells the entire story of the muslims without historical inaccurcies or just being able to gave a complete history of arab culture so the shortcoming is not on the filmakers it`s on PBS`S inabilty to broadcast documentry which is the exact opposite.
