About A Historical Tour Of The Holy Land
Review ...authored by a skilled veteran tour guide Beryl Ratzer, A Historical Tour will help your visit focus on the true worth and value of our holy land (Israel) within the context of our faith in G-d and love of the Land of Israel. --Alan Jay Gerber, The Jewish Star: The Kosher Bookworm Ratzer's book is strongest when it comes to photos and the use of period quotes to guide the reader through the numerous sites. The reader is invited to see the Holy Land variously through the eyes of Mark Twain (1867) and the Sennacherib (704 BCE). For those looking for a short history of the Holy Land, perfect as a gift or for tourists, this is a wonderful volume and a welcome contribution. --Seth J. Frantzman, Tour Guides Association in Israel This is one of those very rare guide books that answers the three 'W"s: When, Where, What. It's a very successful effort on several levels. It is lightweight (160 pp) and can be easily carried in a tote bag or backpack while touring. I take off my "kova tembel" in admiration, and compliment Beryl Ratzer on being the author of a truly user-friendly tour of Israel. --Pnina Moed Kass,Esra Magazine Product Description As a veteran Israeli guide I realised that there was no concise history book for the amateur historian wanting to understand the complex history of this small piece of land nestled between Egypt and the Fertile Crescent so I wrote and published this book in 1996. An updated edition was published in 2000 and the third edition in 2010. My greatest joy is when people who are not history buffs tell me they enjoyed the book and learnt from it.
