This book ranks the 100 most influential Jews of all time. They changed the way we live and think. A few, however, touched the souls and minds of Jews only, but are important to the world because of their defining presence in Jewish identity. Michael Shapiro is the author of the international bestseller The Jewish 100 (published in American, British, Japanese, Chinese, Russian, Portuguese, Bulgarian, Polish, and Romanian language editions) and Jewish Pride. An acclaimed composer, his over one hundred works have been performed internationally, and for over ten years has been the Music Director and Conductor of The Chappaqua Orchestra in New York. He served for two years as the music consultant to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C., where he produced and performed music by a number of composers who were either murdered by the Germans and their collaborators or had survived as refugees from the Third Reich. When first published, The Jewish 100 was featured in scores of publications, as well as an article in The New Yorker, the cover of The Independent on Sunday in Great Britain, and a lead discussion in Haaretz in Israel. Among the 100 are: Albert Einstein, Sigmund Freud, Theodor Herzl, Niels Bohr, Benjamin Disraeli, David Ben-Gurion, Leo Szilard, Golda Meir, David Sarnoff, Chaim Weizmann, Levi Strauss, Menachem Begin, Henry Kissinger, Jonas Salk, Harry Houdini, Groucho Marx, Steven Spielberg, Bob Dylan, and Sandy Koufax.
