5 out of 5 stars Windows Vista    July 27, 2007

It is so great that I want to install the Interactive Multimedia DVD in my new PC but seems it doesn't work with Windows Vista. Did anybody solved this problem?


4 out of 5 stars vhs tapes    June 11, 2007

The set of 5 tapes arrived in an insulated box but the tape box itself had
a dent in it. That first tape on that side of the box had split in two on
the plastic. I did write the company about it and they answered very quickly and said to send the tape back and they would replace it. My husband decided he would try to clue the broken piece. Fortunately it
worked so we decided to forgo the mailing back of the tape. The outer box
that this set was mailed in was not dented and we think that the box with
the tapes was damaged before it was put in the mailing box. Accidents do
happen and it would not prevent me from ordering again from this company.

5 out of 5 stars An illuminating survey    May 28, 2006
Shalom Freedman (Jerusalem,Israel)

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.
