    So I am a Christian who loves history and try to study the Old Testament. I actually run a Bible study in my home and we tend to study the Old Testament. Presently we are studying Exodus. I cannot tell you how these lectures are helping me with the history of the Jewish community. I have such respect for your religion. This text would ramble on if I were to go into detail. May I just say Thank You from a senior citizen in Wheaton, Illinois who loves all my Jewish friends.

      Wouldn't it be necessary to Christians to get their is no old testament but only old habits to take very unfair translations over the real text?

    Found your channel as a non-religious history buff, loving the lectures and its very helpful in understanding economies, politics, governments and trends in history since the Jewish community was such a critical part. Also, loved the Charlemagne joke, that was great haha.

    Very interesting information. I was raised in Monmouth County, NJ as a Catholic but my father always said our family had been Jewish. My DNA confirms this so I'm glad to find this information available. Even more than that, I love your style and sense of humor. I live in Utah and no one gets my jokes but you would. You are a breathe of fresh air for me. Thank you!

    Appreciate this historical perspective of Ashkenazim as it relates to why we had to relocate over + over again throughout millennia. The who what + whys as well as where, from the Middle East beginnings and particularly across Europe.
    Especially enjoy learning about the everyday lives throughout this period + the rebellious (nonconforming) reactionaries, ie women whom I'm filled with love + respect for more with every lecture (as opposed to the wealthy bums trying to evade taxes)
    ps Also love the art + images you've been able to provide - Bravo!

    Many Catholics are buried in a catholic cemetery. My husband's family are all buried in a catholic cemetery. This makes it nice, so you can visit the whole family and future generations are able to see their ancestors and maintain the beauty of their plots. Its comforting to see your religious Icons, knowing your family members are were they with their relatives.

    Thank you, Dr. Abramson, for a most informative lecture. I myself have had the privilege of visiting the synagogue in Speyer and seeing an old Torah roll there. That was about 40 years ago when there were only services on a irregular basis (most Jewish American soldiers at the time). Now I have heard that there are regular Sabbath services in Speyer. I think that the bald man might have been a medieval monk, but it is only a guess. I am very much looking forward to the next lectures. Stephan

  • @lsmart
    @lsmart 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Re the unique importance of the Chevra Kadisha in Jewish societies, I think there are two specific reasons:
    1. Caring for the dead is often a "chesed shel emes" (true kindness), as the Torah refers to it, as you cannot expect anything in return. It is therefore vital that the kehilah care for them, since otherwise they may not be cared for at all.
    2. Since the proper care for the dead is viewed as critical for the sake of the soul and its ascendance to heaven, as is the swift burial of the body, it is vitally important that a fixed team, properly trained in all the relevant rituals, is always on hand to treat every Jew who dies.
