| THIS BOOK, A TIMELESS PEOPLE, HAS BEEN NOMINATED FOR TWO AWARDS FOR 2012, IN TWO CATEGORIES BY THE NATIONAL JEWISH BOOK COUNCIL. |
Introduction: Why "Timeless"?
The author begins his four-year odyssey with this undeniable principle; To understand a people today, we must first understand its past.
In four years, he took thousands of photographs and conducted hundreds of interviews, to present the rich history, values and culture of Jews in eighteen communities across the United States, to answer a basic question;
How have the Jewish people been able to persevere and maintain their devotion to the Torah for over 350 years in a country replete with unparalleled freedom but equally replete with the most challenging of tests. What makes a people "timeless"?

Donald Makovsky Excerpts from bookExcerpts from book
"A Jewish Confederate soldier, fatigued from so much death and devastation in his years battlling the North in the Civil War, accepts an invitation from a Jewish "Yankee" family he passes, to enjoy a Passover Seder together." "A Holocaust survivor, just a few years removed from the unspeakable horrors, has the pluck to bring a live chicken into the maternity ward of a Washington DC hospital to perform the tradition of kapores for her daughter and newborn grandson before Yom Kippur."
