Jewish History - Origins of the Hebrew People (2a of 20 sessions)

In the first session exploring Ancient Jewish History, Rabbi Adam Chalom, Dean - North America of the International Institute for Secular Humanistic Judaism, compares the traditional stories of Jewish origins with what can actually be known through archaeology and critical study. It may well be that, while they are important Jewish stories, the narratives of Abraham and Moses are not history. Viewers might enjoy this past program on "Origins of Ancient Israel" by Professor Carol Meyers: https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/hS2MEpqBWrM. See the other videos in this series at    • Introduction to Jewish History  . The recommended reading in Rabbi Sherwin Wine's A Provocative People: A Secular History of the Jews for this session is pp9-61. Available in print and e-book - more information at https://iishj.org/publications/a-provocative-people/.
