Excerpt from Methods of Teaching Jewish History-Senior Grade

The period of history covered in this volume is one of the most important in the annals of Israel. It is very desirable that it should be rightly understood and presented by the teacher. It represents the realization of the promises given to the patriarchs, and of the purpose for which their descendants were redeemed out of Egypt. The consciousness of tribal identity, while never entirely lost, becomes, during this period, subordinated to the sense of national unity. The several tribes begin to realize that they are one people, with a common past, a common ancestry and a common heritage, a common hope and a common duty. In response to this they present, for a hundred years, a united front to their common enemies, to subdue them, and to make themselves a powerful, wealthy and formidable nation. It was the high-water mark of their national existence. Never again were the twelve tribes of Israel assembled as one nation under one government.

The political aspect of this period, in which a number of loosely cohering tribes became compacted into one people, while interesting, presents no unique phenomenon. It was an experience which the Israelites enjoyed in common with other peoples. Its spiritual significance, however, is very great. The sense of religious unity lay deep, but latent. Tremendously influenced and intensified by this century of close political cohesion, it has never since been destroyed. It survived the shocks of rebellion, subjugation and captivity.
