History is important to us Jews no different than it is to any other group. Also, scholarship has always played a very important role in our religion and culture.

There's a famous and true quote which goes: "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it" (George Santayana)

In the Torah, the historical narrative relates how God created the world and how the Israelites came to be. This gives us a context for the world around us and for our own identity.
The lives of the Forefathers (Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and their wives) are replete with lessons and role-models for us.
In the words of the prophets, historical narrative is interwoven with the rest of the text. It shows why the prophecies were made and how they became fulfilled.
