Jewish People

This section of our website deals with Jewish people.

The first part describes selected Jewish communities around the world; please note that there are many others which are not described here.

The second section provides biographies of a wide range of famous Jews. Those with single names are Biblical personalities, and not all of these are Jewish (Jezebel, for example, was a Phoenician princess who married a Jewish king; her story is included as she is one of the better known characters in the Bible).

For more detailed information, please click on one of the links on the right side of this page.
