The Jewish People in Their Lands: Great Jewish Cities   

In the ancient homeland, the Jewish people worked in the land. The Exile transformed them into an urban people. In the modern period, European cities became great centers of Jewish life and creativity. In the aftermath of the Second World War, Israel and the United States became the centers of Jewish gravity.
