We have now reached the conclusion of this series and before we wrap up it is fitting for us to put into perspective the ground that we have covered.

Note that we are following the Jewish calendar for these events (and not the Gregorian calendar which is at times 150 years at odds with Jewish computations). For more on this issue see Part 21.

No ending for me
You mentioned that we have come to the end of this series. Please continue to write about Jewish History. I have not come close to learning enough. I hope we can return to many of the chapters. I depend upon the information you have so generously provided. I thank you Rabbi Spiro, for your excellent work. It is such a pleasure to read and think about the Jewish past which has a great effect on our future.I love reading the comments from the many different people and I thank them also.
