Fascinating. Superficial only because the lecturer's knowledge is so vast and profound but limited by time. No Jewish roots myself but always drawn to the cultures and People.

I know this is a crash course, but one small yet interesting anecdote to supplement the Napoleon segment was his stopover at Acre/Akko. I've read that before he emancipated the Jews of France, he considered resurrecting the Jewish state but quickly abandoned the idea after his military loss there. Could the lack of interest in doing so among Diaspora Jewry also have figured into his calculations? Last but not least, someone was either joking or serious when they claimed Napoleon changed his mind about renewed Jewish sovereignty after eating (and consequently suffering from) a spoiled dish of Acre hummus.

Brilliant, as always!! Thank you for putting Recife story in the narrative. Such a great period. And is when I believe that my family went to Brazil. About Cordoveiro, cordeiro meand lamb. Just like the captain and explorer, discoverer of Brazil, Pedro Alvares Cabral, a new christian form Belmonte, Portugal. Cabral meand "from goat" or goat pastor. But I think Cordoveiro means from Cordova, Spain.

@@HenryAbramsonPhD Wow! And it may even have some relation again to the recent science of astro-navigation and Avraham Zacuto. Rope = corda. And Cordoeiro is an actual Portuguese word with that exact meaning. I'm a native speaker and I didn't know it. Maybe because it is a forgotten profession. dicionario.priberam.org/cordoeiro - the one that does or sells ropes. Thank you again.

Love your work. You use like most people as a throw-away line the phrase “time immemorial.” You might like to know that under English law that phrase has a specific meaning. It means dating from no later than the coronation of Richard 1 in 1189. It’s used for proving long use for example of a local custom or a piece of land. As you know, that coronation coincidentally was a disaster for English Jews as a delegation of Jewish well-wishers bearing gifts for the new monarch was brutally murdered whilst trying to get entry to the cathedral. From a pedantic English attorney

Correction: the Turks were not just on the other side of the Black sea. They were all around both Black and Azov seas, including what is now the southern half Ukraine. The Ukrainian Cossacks' main purpose was to defend their people from marauding Turks and to respond by marauding back. Later, as Poland and Russia got into Ukraine, things changed. Correction 2: The phrase, "1/3 will assimilate, 1/3 will emigrate, and 1/3 will die" is attributed to Stolypin, Russian Prime-Minister. He said it in the early 20th century.

Actually, as a Shi'a Muslim I'd like to add, that it is very much about Creed like the chtistians and not so much about halaqah, though we are shy since we are going through a Renaissance and don't want to offend sunnis...during this period we want to challenge ideas such as self imposed guilt and collective guilt as a western thought and like ideas such as free will and tikkun olam...that deism is dying and we make the best of the world based on our efforts and Hashem adds to either based on what we want - that good is rewarded and followed up by evil as a trial or evil is allowed to prevail as a punishment in which a chance to bail out is also always shown as a last minute alternative. The problem with us Shi'a is ..that we have still been mostly underground and aren't confident to take lead yet. Creed...very high with non Persian or Arab Shiites such as Indians and Turks.

The covenant of Sinai was instituted until the Messiahs Covenant was to be enforced. Sinai was exclusive to the circumcised, Messiahs Covenant is for all the families of the world. The 1st Temple was desecrated by Idolatrous Kings of Judah . It was also and idol itself , it became the evidence to Judeans that YHVH was preserving them..what they didnt know is the YHVHs were about to bring upon them the terms of the broken Covenant...but would first make atonement as the promise to Abram in Gen 15. The 2 Lamps are the YHVHs , the great Lamp is YHVH God , the 2nd lamp is the Word YHVH...Yes there are 2 YHVHs Gen 15 , The Word YHVH spoke to Abram directly..Abram identified Him as Adonai YHVH. The Word YHVH entering between the slain beasts after the Great YHVH passed 1st..indicated He would bear the responsibility for Abrams family...so it was..that הדבר was sent forth to the last generation of Judah before God judged Judah for breaking the covenant of Sinai..the Word became flesh, Emmanuel, to bear upon His back the guilt and suffer the punishment , that justice may be satisfied, and all who repent in His name, the Only Begotten Son, may receive the mercy of forgiveness and righteousness. But as the Prophets foretold the Leaders of the people would reject Him , murder him, and so would be poured out upon them and their children the desolation decreed. That generation passed not away till all was fulfilled...to this day...this is why Israel suffered pogrom after pogrom and Messiahs Covenant prospered...for Israel clung to the shadow of Messiah so reap judgement of wrath...instead of the peace that comes through Messiah Yeshua of Nazareth

What i don't understand is why most/many Jews today are non-religious or non orthodox? Even those who live in Israel. Those who today (last 80 years) are the fulfillment of 3,000 years old Biblical prophecy: back to Promised Land from the worldwide dispersion; making the desolate land (forced sabbatical) fertile again; Jerusalem the capital of Israel again; trees being planted in the hills/mountains again; Hebrew being used in the Promised Land again. Here is the fulfillment of Biblical prophecy including the judgements/curse taken by the Hebrew fathers at Mt Ebal for worshipping other gods - death, enslavement, defeat, banishment from the Promised Land, worldwide dispersion, worldwide hatred and even persecution. But God calling them back from the Diaspora to the Promised Land and Israel becoming a nation again. Why are most/many Jews today non-religious?
