Scroll right and left using arrow keys or scrollbar. This
is only an outline - an attempt to encapsulate Jewish history, and
as such won't pretend to reflect the entire depth and scope of the topic.
The focus is epochal events, people, political figures, Torah commentators,
historical periods, periods of development in Judaic literature, and Jewish
spritual leaders.
Please note that the positioning of the entries may not align correctly in all browsers. Formatting the information is tricky in the fluid HTML environment, so some of the positioning of the entries is illogical in the horizontal sense (i.e. the "theme" of each color band is somewhat arbitrary, except for the top two bands and the bottom band) . Hopefully the time frames (vertical alignment) will be more accurate. In case there's doubt, I've included date ranges with each entry. (Plus it's not quite done yet).
