Site Mission Statement This project began as a Historical Overview of Medieval Jewish Warrior Cultures -- a single page article on my Armour History Site. The purpose of the article is described in the Introduction to the article, presented below . As the article expanded, I realised that a dedicated site was waranted. Now, I would like this site to become far more than Historical Overview. Iwould like this to become a full Resource Site for information on Jewish Warriors. To this end, I will be accepting submissions of Articles, Links, and Resources on the topic and presenting the same here. Please - Visit, Learn, and Teach. Submissions Guidelines Introduction to the Historical Overview of Medieval Jewish Warrior Cultures
Even the modern Jew, notwithstanding the prowes of the Israeli soldier, is imagined in the same way -- the bookish weakling, the smart (or underhanded) business man, the neurotic intelectual. In spite of Kirk Douglas, non-Jews and Jews alike see the Jew as Woody Allen. This paper is meant to contest that image and present a contrary one -- the Jew as fighter, as warrior, as hero. My intention here is to present a brief historical overview of Jewish Warriors and Warrior societies.
