Great video, I love Rome. It was very symbolic to see the Arch of Titus lit up in blue and white in the immediate aftermath of 7 October.

The arch of Titus is a glimpse of history

Super interesting, I imagine very few people are aware of this

[@Lorna7777]

I was in Rome and wasn’t aware of this! I will have to visit again especially for this. Have you ever visited Rhodes Jewish Quarters? Prayed in the Synagogue absolutely beautiful 🙏✝️🇮🇱

Salvatore is right… the arincini’s (rice balls) are better in Sicily, or Calabria where my dad is from. Super interesting video.

[@emmanuelwood8702]

The Romans sent most of the Jewish slaves after the destruction of Jerusalem to Hispania which later became Spain or Sefarad for those Judean slaves because it was the most western extreme of the empire. This is where the term Sephardic comes from and where Maimonides was born as a part of this community of Jews which was at one point the largest one in Europe the Jews of Spain or Sefaradim. This is why a lot of them speak a 15th-century dialect of Castilian Spanish.

I am from rome, cool content

Thank you!

Alec, will you return to Italy? I hope you liked our country

[@grasmereguy5116]

It's weird that when you pronounce words in Italian you say them with the throaty ר (resh) sound most Israelis use ("Roma, Salvatore") but when you speak English you sound like an American and use the flat American rhotic R.

[@insightfulNomad]

I find that speaking too much like an American is hard for some foreigners to understand

[@grasmereguy5116]

I was just recently in Israel and had the opportunity to do some agricultural volunteering in the Gaza envelope, including at a kibbuz I lived at 35 years ago. One of my co-volunteers was an Italian Jewish 20-something guy who goes to Hebrew University, he made aliyah a few years ago, and his teenage sister, wo visited him in Israel. I managed to ask him if he was descended from Rome's ancient Jewish community, as opposed to more recent waves of Jews who've made Italy their home from places like Libya (Tripolitanian Jews from Libya are now the majority of Italian Jews) and he said he was, but his family never lived in the Ghetto. (I feel that if he comes from ancient Roman Jews, at some point they had lto have lived there, maybe over a century ago, but I didn;t want to argue with, him. I wanted to ask him more questions but we were there to plant cabbage, and then later on the ride back to Jerusalem, he was chattingand flirting with an Israeli Yemenite girl, and I wasn't going to be a "c**k blocker". I also stayed at a cheap kind of B&B on Hillel Street across the street from the Italian-Jewish heritage museum in Jerusalem, but didn;t have a chance to investigate, unfortunately.

The construction of the Colosseum was financed by the plunder of Judea and built by jewish slaves. I studied Greek-Latin in high school and this was not mentioned once. I know the information from reading books of classicist Prof. Mary Beard

Why did they go to Palestine?

[@Lorna7777]

Because it’s biblical they were scattered for their sins and God promised to bring them back into the promised land, he made a covenant it would be for Abraham’s descendants forever

[@יעקבמישקה]

I was born there

can you search Jewish in indonesia please ? because indonesia is too many muslims so google maybe can't find "Yahudi di indonesia" 😅

Ashkenazi jews originated in Rome????? What a lack of rigour, Ashkenazi jews were born in Central Europe, Romaniote in Greece, Italy and Sephardim in the Iberian peninsula
