He was the only boy in his village who could not see, but that did not stop him from making mischief, as boys will do. He behaved well in school, but grew bored when the others practiced their writing; that was when he pulled a frog from his pocket and let... |

| 17. |  | Reckless Rites: Purim and the Legacy of Jewish Violence (Jews, Christians, and Muslims from the Ancient to the Modern World) from Princeton University Press Price: $30.36 Customer Review: Usually, all we hear is that Christians thought of Jews as responsible for deicide. Throughout this book, Horowitz makes it clear that Jews had just as much religiously-motivated animosity against Christians as Christians did against Jews. Horowitz paints the former as a defensive reaction of Jews... |
