About App
The interactive timeline presents Israel's history and heritage in a variety of areas, from the creation of the world to our days. A click on any topic in the timeline will open a window with a brief explanation and links to additional sources. The application combines the history of the Jewish people along with the world's, Jewish demography, immigration, empires, periods, historical figures, leaders, literature, and languages. Combining the different subjects and including both "traditional" and "secular" topics, allows the user to see the whole picture.
Jewish history is the history of the Jews, and their religion and culture, as it developed and interacted with other peoples, religions, and cultures. Although Judaism as a religion first appears in Greek records during the Hellenistic period and the earliest mention of Israel is inscribed on the Merneptah Stele dated 1213–1203 BCE, religious literature tells the story of Israelites going back at least as far as c. 1500 BCE.
