Member $33.96 The Heritage Interactive DVD-ROM was created as a supplement to the monumental Peabody Award-winning series, Heritage: Civilization and the Jews. This highly acclaimed DVD-ROM is available separately for the very first time. From the stony heights of Sinai to the shores of the Dead Sea, from a Greek amphitheater in Delphi to the Forum of ancient Rome, out of the ashes of concentration camps to the rebuilt cities and villages of Israel, Heritage: Civilization and the Jews brings to life the long and complex history of the Jews and their centuries-old interaction with the rest of Western civilization. The comprehensive Heritage Interactive is an "interactive museum of Jewish experience", which includes over 650 annotated historical documents; 541 map views with more than 2250 explanatory essays; 3600+ encyclopedia articles; 4000 captions; over 100 interactive multimedia presentations containing over 800 historical images; an unlimited book marking system; a built-in "Help" feature; and a fully searchable index of over 7000 multimedia elements. DVD-ROM also includes all 9 hours of the original Abba Eban series but only viable on a computer at a lower resolution that DVD TV quality.
Item # WT266 Reviews"Never before has the classroom teacher been given a tool as powerful, inspirational, and accessible as the Heritage: Civilization and the Jews DVD-ROM. The ability to move between the centuries exploring original sources, sites, and sounds presents a revolutionary opportunity for enhancing the educational experience for children in Jewish schools. It is a unique resource not only for Jewish day and afternoon schools, but also for public and independent schools and home learning of children and adults as well." - Peter A. Geffen, Founder The Abraham Joshua Heschel School, NYC |
