The History of the Jews
Join Rabbi Daniel Kohn for a fast-paced survey of Jewish history beginning over 4,000 years ago with the Torah through the Talmud, including Greco-Roman times and more. We'll blast through Medieval times in Europe and Arab lands discussing anti-Semitism and the origins of Christian & Muslim interfaith relations. We'll conclude with the story of Jews in America, Zionism and the State of Israel. Despite the fast pace, we'll have plenty of time to discuss topics of interest in depth. Come and ask questions--and share your own knowledge and insights!
