India never 'imported' Islam, it was brought by Invasion.

Are you planning to make a video about the most recent Israeli election?

I suppose it's impossible to do otherwise in the context of the 19th and early 20th centuries, but I'm happy you used the terms "nation" and "nation state" in their actual meanings, rather than simply as a poetic stand in for "state" as is often done nowadays.

Ok, Although it does not fit the narrative, but in 1495 Jews were also expelled from Lithuania (and it followed the same trend from Iberia, and most probably was a related trend) but they were allowed to return in 1503.

Sam is a a Jomboy fan confirmed, I love it.

Point of note, the NCV isn't the standard accent of the great lakes region. I'm from Michigan, not far from Detroit, and very few people I've ever met speak with that accent, to the point where I didn't even recognize the signs of it in your accent, and neither do either of my parents who have lived their whole lives in Michigan.

Disraeli - Britains first ethnic minority prime minister, and its greatest prime minister of the Victorian age. British Jews have really shaped modern Britain as much as the Huguenots.

Sam said something about bundism as an "anti-zionist gotcha," what did he mean by this?

Looking forward to what’s coming next

Your videos have been so useful for my understanding of history!

On the future of Jewish history, I hope you cover the Yugoslav wars from a Jewish perspective! Though that ages ago.

Go back to the bar you crawled out of. U R wasted. You know everything about squat.

Really good answers all throughout! I hope you might consider something on Jews in Canada or Mexico. Especially given the upcoming presidential election in Mexico, where finding exact details on the Lithuanian-Ashkenazi/Bulgarian Sephardic origins of the frontrunner is surprisingly difficult. Am principally finding the Mexican equivalent of “birther” inquiries. Especially interested to know if the anticlerical restrictions in the Mexican constitution ever had any implications for Jewish religious practice or political life. Especially given the necessity to register all new religious buildings with the government, or clerics not being allowed to run for various political offices.

The Jewish nation and the jewish people have always been an inspiration prayers and solidarity to Israel in this unfortunate of times #endhamas#endterrorism

I hope you dont mind me saying my favorite video is explaining Moses mendleson

I can't believe you don't have 10000 subscribers your stuff is gold

Why Poland's name is shown on the map? It was completely partition by Russia, Prussia and Austria by the time of May Laws.

The one thing I wanted to know that wasn’t covered is why it is called “the Pale of Settlement,” so I looked it up and it is pretty mundane: “Pale” in English has the it’s roots in Latin “Palus” meaning “stake.” So the “Pale of settlement” was like an enclosure surrounded by stake fence marking the boundaries.

Never stop with the scripted long form content sir. Some of the most quality stuff I’ve seen on KZbin

Long Connecticut Accent?

What does "The hundred days" refer to? This must be something obvious to people from some cultural backgrounds but not to me, and I haven't noticed explanation in the video.

I've never paid attention to the end credits of your videos so this video was the first time I found out I'd been credited for helping you access sources before lol, hearing my name took me by surprise

Have never heard anyone claim the Muslim never had any problems but compared to Europe the contrast is pretty stark while not reaching the tolerance shown in India or China.

Hey, that's my shul! :) Congrats on 50k - well deserved!

To be honest, I did not expect a Sam×Jomboy crossover

Never had babka???

You'll get there, don't worry!

Amazing channel! So, you are an American. Please work on your "British-sounding" A's. I thought you were a sabra. This affectation makes you sound like a poseur. Yasher Koach!

Did you see a documentary called Shalom Bollywood? About how Indian Jews contributed to early Bollywood.

Thanks for the great content!

I love your videos. Thank you for exploring the part of our history we don’t always notice in our day to day life. If you end up talking about the Hashomer Hatzair or any related youth movements, the Yad yaari archives in Givat Chaviva should have plenty of resources.

1:26 Correction,it is: There is no God but Allah.

5:17 As a person that speaks Yiddish I to find it hard to read.

Greetings from Brazil, I'm following your channel for some years, and the quality is always improving! Hope you make episodes about the Jewish presence in South America and in colonial Africa. When I was a child I lived near the agricultural colony founded around 1910 by the Jewish Colonization Association in South Brazil, and always wondered if projects like this were made in other Latin American countries. Keep up the good work!

🎉🎉🎉 bravo may u never stop

I would also like to bring up the informal education in Israel of history. To mention in particular two television shows that are very popular. I'm mostly surprised no one asked you about any of them. @SamAronow If you have any thoughts on them I would love to hear them. The first is a 50-year-old animated French television program for "kids" about general history, it is called Once Upon a Time... Man. (היה היה) And the second is The Jews Are Coming, which is an Israeli satirical program. It mainly "teaches" about Jewish history in that it sometimes brings up incredibly esoteric things that I usually read about afterward. It is also very funny which is a big plus.

@20:51, your comments on the Jewish experiences of WWII reminded me of my Greek grandmother's two Jewish friends from before the war. One was in the Greek army when the Italians invaded and fought them until the Germans hit a weak point in the line and encircled the army. He then fought in the Greek resistance and after the war went on to fight in the Israeli war for independence. That was the last my grandmother heard of him. The other friend was was taken by the Germans. My grandmother never knew what happened to her, but feared the worst.

as an Israeli, my K12 Jewish history was something like this (excluding secular bible study): -Hasmonean dynasty -Herod The Great & The Great Jewish Revolt -Early Islam & Jews having to pay Jidda (brief) -Medieval Europe and I think I learned about Prague (brief) -Early Zionism & the first few Aliya waves -Russian pogroms (brief) -Hertzel and the Uganda Scheme -WW1, debate among Zionist organization on which side to join, Balfour declaration -the 36' pogroms during the Arab revolt -British Rule over the Palestinian Mandate (i.e. Palestina) & the white books -Holocaust (obviously, dont know what to elaborate) -post ww2-pre independence resistance activity in the mandate by the three major organizations -differences between Hagana, Lechi & Etzel in ideology and strategy -cooperation by the three organizations, committee X and dissolution over King David hotel bombing -4 phases of the independence war, starting on the 29th of November 1947 -a single mention on Dir Yasin (which caused a heated debate in the classroom until the end)

Hi, israeli student here We learn about the hellenistic period Roman judea and jewish roman wars (excluding the kitos war) Nationalisation in europe (spring of the people) including the dreiphus affair and the zionist movement The shoah (holocaust) The old and new yishuvs (jewish settlements in eretz yisrael) The british mandate and the israeli arab wars (taught from a strong pro israel perspective, but no false information is told)

@SamAronow I went to school both in Germany and Israel from 2000. If you want I could give you more info about the experience and the curriculum.

re: the importance of Bundism, a girl I went to high school with was infrequently picked up from school by her grandfather, who as a teenager fought on the side of the Spanish Republic against Franco's fascists and managed to get out alive and I sometimes talked to him while he was waiting for his granddaughter about Anarchist Things as it turned out he was an anarchist like I was (and am) and he said his own parents were both Bundists, which was not how I found out about them (I believe it was reading Rudolf Rocker that had tipped me to their existence and got me researching them) but his own personal experience was extremely fascinating to learn about (even if his granddaughter looked exasperated every time she came up and we were deep in a leftist history discussion)

As a prospective rabbinical student, I absolutely loved your videos on rabbinic history in the late antiquity to early modern periods videos, any chance those come back to catch us up on rabbinic history in the 19th and 20th centuries? I’d love to see the development of Hasidism, the great Lithuanian yeshivos, (especially considering the impact of former yeshiva students on the political movements of the time), maybe an episode on what’s been going on in the Sephardic world religion-wise? So many great options for this period, I hope you cover it in some way!

Thanks for the Q and A, Sam.

Holy crap Sam watches one of my favorite baseball pods! We gotta get an episode about Jewish baseball players. There’s two podcasters out there that are Jewish called baseball bar-b-cast Harrison Bader is my homie

Regarding your plans it makes sense. Most of the time when I was learning history it tends to cut off about 20 years before the publication/current date. As it’s usually too recent and often is also far more subject to personal bias than older topics.

23:09 ah 1989 - the year of Taylor swift

What is my favorite baseball team? Why, the Anaheim Angels, of course. *remembers that they renamed themselves the Los Angeles Angels, while remaining physically in Anaheim* *angry Orange County noises*

One of the biggest disappointments I had with the channel was when, at the episode about the start of the jewish history in the United States, you mentioned something as a footnote and never again talked about it The incredible (but short) history of Nieuw Holland jewish comunity and the synagogue of Kahal Zur (Not only the first synagogue of the americas but one of the oldest of the west hemisphere still standing) deserved more than being just mentioned when talking about the refugees from there that founded the first synagogue in the US Brazil and argentina are the only of the top ten countries by jewish population that did not receive a single video about it or someone from there I cry every time when a new video from you is not titled "jewish cowboys in the pampas." But the reason why I am whining about it is threefold 1 The around 200 thousand jews that emigrated from mostly the russian empire to argentina, brazil, and uruguay followed an extremely diferent path from those from the United States South america was a mostly iliterate and rural place with fervorous religiosity and a lot more comunal society Of course there are many diferent histories like the sefardim from morroco who stablished isolated comunities in the amazon rainforest, but mostly, they would either integrate with the comunities from the countries they immigrated together and be part of those comunities when the imigration went to the rural areas, or integrate with the poor south american population along with other imigrants A example on how it was diferent is that languages like Yiddish had almost died out before the language bans in the thirties, and the most spoken languages by jews were polish, ukranian, russian, arabic and german, actually for most first generation sons of imigrants from rural places, thats the only language they knew and they would not learn portuguese or spanish for a long time and jewish comunities would keep speaking those languages untill, well, today. Also, the main reason brazil and argentina stimulated imigration was to "dilute" the black population and to turn this countries into white nations, so intermarriage was not just common, but stimulated to the point of being almost forced These things culminated with south american jews having judaism as their religion and only that, almost unanimously seeing themselves either as ethnically brazilians, argentineans and uruguaians from those who moved into the cities, or identifying themselves as polish, ukranian, lebanese or germans, for those from the rural areas. 2 In the 30s, both brazil and uruguay were nationalistic dictadorships linked to the axis, and that meant a lot for the jewish people here And I really need some episodes on that Talk about olga benario, a ussr spy and wife of the greatest comunist in brazilian history, that was sent pregnant as a gift to hitler and sent to a concentration camp in ww2 by a guy who is considered the greatest leader brazil ever had (or at least the second greatest) Many programs to "assimilate" the imigrants also were applied, and tens of thousands of jews were blocked to imigrate 3 There is a current jewish revival in brazil, something close to what happened in portugal a century ago, some small isolated comunities in the north east have bèen found to have jewish traditions dating back to the dutch brazil And a bunch of evangelical brazilians have been apropriating this to some strange situations Since anti catholicism and anti politheism (afro brazilian religions) are the main priority from evangelical brazilians, they larp really hard as jews, and the confuse identity and recent rediscovering of jewish populations resulted in this larp getting out of hand There is today a narco theocracy of around 134 thousand people called Morro de israel in rio where evangelical christians created the evangelical cristian version of the ancient kingdom of israel for instance, and "jewish" cults so weird you wouldnt believe me if I describe here with tens of thousands of followers So, we really need the jewish brazilian history to be told by at least someone The emperor of brazil for 50 years not only had many brazilian personal friends, and the brazilian army who fought in the Paraguayan war had many jewish officers (like the tennent cornel leão cohn) but the emperor was fluent in hebrew and supposedly translated many hebrew texts like the mishneh torah into portuguese for the first time (he is credited with more than 3000 translations from arabic to sanscrit, so I'd take that with a grain of salt) Idk man, I just feel nobody ever talk about south american history, and you made episodes about jewish history in so many places I am disapointed that untill you only dedicated a single frase to the entirety of south america

I've seldom commented on your videos but I wanted to let you know how much a appreciate your work. As a patron, I'm sort of letting you know how I feel by paying for your product. However, an overt expression of gratitude isn't unnecessary. One after another, your videos have been enlightening, moving, challenging, and entertaining. Thank you for making the debt the West owes to the Jews so clear. But your work just increases that debt.

I mean, you can definitely visit battlefields from the Assyrian and Babylonian conquests as well and see relevant archeological remains. Some prominent examples would be Tel Azeqa, Tel Lachish, and the broad wall in Jerusalem. So it’s not really accurate that these are the first scenes of battle mentioned in your channel which you can actually visit. But I’m just being persnickety. Your channel is awesome and you deserve all the פרגון in the world.
