Beautiful explanation. Thank you.

Thank you, Rabbi Wein.

Thank you I am so proud to be an Ashkenazi Jew and learn more about my culture and ancestors

I never get tired of listening to Rabbi Berel Wein, his knowledge and wisdom is a gift from Hashem.

I love listening to Rabbi Wein, you always learn so much from him, and he has such a sweet spirit, he is a treasure to the Jewish people.

IAM LOVING all these.

good job rabbi....on all levels

Very glad I stumbled upon this. Growing up I was never really taught about Jedaism and was always nervous to ask my friends about it.

The thanks is for you Rabbi. To listen and to learn from you this is a privilege thank you very much.

Extraordinary series by a great teacher

Fantastic, Rabbi. Thank you. Blessings from Israel

So true. Thank you for this.

Thank you.

Berel Wein is a world-wide treasure that’s for sure! He makes learning Jewish history informative and dare I say-fun.

I find it hard to understand why such a wonderful series on Jewish History has so few views on youtube.

wow interesting

This video was incredibly informative, thank you!

Thank you for being a part of my quarantine Passover 🙏🏼

Richard Tigchelaar I have always been fascinated with how the Jewish people survived and why, maintaining their identity while utilizing a transcendent creativity to endure and give to the world

Really interesting. More please.

Very informative ... Thanks for the uploading excellent work done... Being part of Jews proud ...

A most interesting history that I wish, if there was more time than an hour, that it could more details..

Can a non jew, become Jewish?

Wonderfully done...being Sephardi,and thankful we seem to stay strong...

great nation... greatings from Serbia

Excellent documentary. Learned a lot about the Jewish people and their struggle at the start of the 20th Century.

@miri53 It's there but out of order, higher up in the list.

The "idea" that the Shemita sabbatical year isn't of Torah origin anymore but of Rabbinic origin is a bold Rabbinic lie, notwithstanding what Orthodox Jews say to support this falsehood. The Torah doesn't set a "loophole" through which Jews in Israel may circumvent the Shemitah commandments or abrogate them.

What about theodor herzl? What affect did he have on the lovers of Zion?

Actually, the pogrom & the antisemitc policies generally were all part of a larger PROGRAM by the imperial gov't to solve what they saw as the nationalism problem. The Russian gov't was concerned about rise of nationalism so it was thought that a policy or Russification would solve this. That is, Non-russian ethnic identities would suppressed & made more Russian. Even other Orthodox churches were to be forced to give up their separate identities. That is what happened.

Does Judaism encourage learning beyond its faith? Such as physics, medicine, geology, etc?

dunno why but i find this rabbi very sympathetic. the whole series of his videos are very interesting, concise and straighforward. too short though!!

Great to see Jewish History explained on vid

Excellent brief definition of Judaism relative to what Jews as humans beings believe and follow.

I was surprised to find this on RU-vid. I don't understand why more people are not interested about this matter. I, as an African-American, who grew up among Jewish people, have always been interested. Thanks to the internet I can now see and hear what it is all about. Thank you Rabbi Wein. Blessings on your house.

how right you are..

Interesting

talk about a tough, resilient people; everything that history has thrown against them; yet they've survived. incredible. talk about how many times Jerusalem had changed hands; how many times they were exiled to foreign lands...how many times their temple was destroyed... no wonder they fight tooth and nail to try to keep Israel to themselves. Whew!

@MegaToyy lived.........and killed.
