CONTRIBUTIONS TO CIVILIZATION
By Miriam Grossman
Could we overlook the contribution Jews have made to the civilized world?
Through the Jews came the perception of one humanity under one God.
Through the Jews, civilization received a blueprint of moral living.
Through the Jews, the rituals of human sacrifices were changed to animal sacrifices, and later to the giving of charity.
From the Jews came forth the religions of Christianity and Islam.
Many other significant contributions came to civilization from the Jewish people. Yet they are the most maligned and oppressed people in the world. They have become humanity's scapegoats, blamed for all mankind's ills.
