    My brother is actively practicing Judaism and I’m trying to learn torah myself (it’s a bit difficult due to living in a conservative christian town), so I really appreciate being able to sit down and learn about his culture and Judaism’s incredible history! I love listening to him, my brother is very passionate and I hope that he’ll take me one day to his Torah classes. Chag Chanukah Sameach :)

      Honestly, Christians who don't study judaism have much less comprehensive view what thier religion even means. And if they don't study the history of isreal, you miss all the political commentary in the bible.
      If they say anything just ask them what religion jesus was.

    Love the channel! IF you are not pressed for time, can you speak more slowly. So much great info that I have to stop and rewind a lot.
    Also, I have done audio engineering and I could give you tips as well as point you to free software or plugins.... like compression to level volume, EQ, mic placement, and a dash of reverb.
    Also, when you talk slower, your narrator voice gets better and more controllable.

    There is a legend which states that when Alexander the Great conquered the land of Canaan, he desired to set up a large statue of the Greek god Zeus in the Jewish Temple at Jerusalem.
    The Jews, being strict monotheists, persuaded Alexander not to do this, and instead promised to name their male children Alexander, as an alternative way of paying homage to the great son of Zeus...

      And interestingly the Greeks may have put the name of their 'god' Zeus into the name of the Messiah-- Iesus. Say it out loud and you can hear it-- it's a little more muffled in the English Jesus but still there.

    As always, a great video, very much enjoyed. A small request. Using the tetragrammaton is not a respectful inclusive thing,
    We have one name for G-D which is ineffable, now - of course you're not bound by that rule, you can say what you want, however if you're using it to show that you know the name, you're also revealing you don't know how that name is to be used (i.e. studied but not uttered).
    Please know that this comment is meant with deep respect and I very much want to share information and not restrict you. But please know that not saying the name is very much like Islam's discomfort for drawing Allah or Muhammed (P.B.U.H). For the comfort of your Jewish audience (myself included) please consider saying G-D, Elohim, Elokim, Adonai, HaShem or really any other word except for the
    yud, hei, and the vav and hei.
    Thank you for your time.

My mother thinks Greeks are descendants of one of Abraham's sons, Jews are Isaac, Arabs are Ishmael. And Greeks one of the other sons of Abraham everyone tends to forget. No joke My mother believes that. I bring it up because this video is about Greeks and Jews. So I wanted to bring up this for a good laugh for anyone reading this.

      Many Ashkenazic Jews have mitochondrial DNA from Southern Italy which had women from Sicily, Sardinia, and *Greece.* So the Jews might have Greek DNA. There is no proof for them coming from Abraham. But. They are close to Jews in their looks and culture. They were all from around the Mediterranean and the Greeks lived in Judea for many years.

    I've a question. You are Jewish right? Why are you a Lutheran on Twitter? Your bio. Not saying because x ethnicity you should be y religion or anything this is just a curiosity. This isn't a attack on your Lutheran faith. I don't have a problem with Lutheranism. My grandmother who's part Jewish slightly herself (Jewish maiden surname) is a Lutheran. But I'm curious about your case.
    I mean Luther was at least in religion antisemitic anti Judaism.

      I am not ethnically Jewish, and I was born and raised a Missouri Synod Lutheran. I've made videos about Jewish history because I was interested in it.
      As for Luther's anti-Semitism, there's some historical context to it that I hope to cover in a video someday. But the short version is that most of his anti-Jewish writings fell within the genre of political polemics rather than theology. So modern Lutherans don't hold his polemical writings as Doctrinally authoritative.
