Memories of the House of David - Stories from the days of Israel are a series of books that tell the story of an imaginary Jewish family, descended from the House of David , from the Babylonian exile until the Enlightenment . The books do not reveal a linear plot but consist of short stories . In books, emphasis is placed on values ​​of physical heroism and resourcefulness , as opposed to previous books of this kind that emphasized values ​​such as scholarship or martyrdom . The book has been popular for generations among young Jews in the Diaspora and in the Land of Israel .


The book was first written between 1856 and 1857 in German by the scholar Zvi Hermann Recendorf , who drew inspiration from Eugene C. 's book "The Mysteries of Paris" and was originally called "The Jewish Mysteries" (Geheimnisse der Juden), as a combination of an historical lecture based on a sweeping fiction . It was first translated into Hebrew in 1865 in Warsaw by Abraham Cohen Kaplan as "Mysteries of the Jews", but his familiar translation into Hebrew is the parable of Avraham Shalom Friedberg , published by Ben Avigdor Publishers, published by Ahiasaf between 1893 and 1895. Friedberg The first two volumes of Friedberg are translated, while the other two volumes are original, and in the year 5712 the book is re-edited into Hebrew from Friedberg's original source By Avraham Aryeh Akavia, when "a few hard phrases were removed from the new reader's ear And the references to the writings of our Sages and other sources that are not mentioned in the regular narrative were omitted. Even here and there things that do not need the body of the story have been omitted. "

The book traces the supposed descendants of Zerubbabel Ben Shaltiel , one of the leaders of the return to Zion , and places in the chain of generations known personalities as Hillel the Elder , the Jewish kings of ancient Jewish kingdoms in the Arabian Peninsula as Khaybar and Hamir and Don Isaac Abarbanel . The central theme of the book is that the House of David is alive and well and constitutes a sort of stable and powerful backbone in Jewish history.
