Dr Abramson, Thank you so much for a delightful three-evening lecture series covering a remarkable 3800+ years of Israeli and Jewish history. My wife and I very much enjoyed finally meeting you in person. You are as delightful in person as online. As an Anglican pastor for 43 years, and a fellow lover of history, I have learned much from your insightful, humorous teachings.
It was great to meet you in person, Mr. Hird! Thanks so much for the kind gift, and of course for the kind words.
Do you do your own green-screen editing of your talks? It is interesting to see the editing of the talk at Beth Israel so that the illustrations that you used in the talk have become your backdrop. Either way, it is very effective.
@@HenryAbramsonPhDThank you professor Abramson for this imformative lecture thanks for sharing the interesting story of youre grandfather ,🇨🇦🍁🔥that fire in canada ive never heard of it was great youre grandfather was able to pull through that diasaster,thanks also for covering how that lands name was changed after 135,i often wonder if the destruction of 70 ce our ad never accourd how that region may look today ,the maccabean revolt was covered very well it seems the books of maccabees where well known in christian circles as you depicted middle ages art work 🐘of elea zers death under antiochus'war elephant💥those books seem to have been even removed from the kjv bible in the 1800s by some prodestant churches which to me i dont understand during jesus'time he would have been famaliar with the story ,as he also revered hanukkah as well ,wishing you the best as Purim comes up🎉🎉👍
Class Never Goes Out of Style Professor...
Thank you!
I always LOVE your old-dad’s jokes. No problem, those who don’t care for your humor will like you for the learning. Those who appreciate your humor simple get double the blessing from watching your videos 😊
Thanks so much!
Shalom Professor, you have once again encompassed so much in so little time and offered us a bird’s eye view into the history of our people. I might also add, given the conflict today, this was also timely.
Thank you for the time and extensive research you’ve put into these instructional videos for us, I can’t wait to watch the next two! Shalom!
Thank you so much for the kind words!
Your teachings are much appreciated.
I appreciate that
I like how you subtly but unmistakeably make it clear when it's the historical record and when it's "the plot".
This Christian likes to study Jewish history, thank you!
You are most welcome!
Me too!
Me too!!
I have been overwhelmingly grateful to find a circumspect, objective, straightforward Jewish scholar to aid me in studying the history of the Jewish people, the Muslims in Palestine, and the associated topics.
Sir, your allegiance to evenhandedness and unemotional discussion is very refreshing. I thank you.
Thank you for the kind words!
But his is an almost lobotomized telling of a "history" that has very deep blood layers that have relevance to what's happening today.
You may NOT cut out the "corny jokes" 🤦🏻♀️... It's verboten!
I learn so many interesting details and points of view from your delightful lectures on a subject most dear. 💛
Mamash verboten 😂
Thank you for giving your precious time to other's learning.
My pleasure!
thank you, Sir, for this very interesting lecture. I think esp today it's important to develop some kind of knowledge about Jewish history to be able to put all those different opinions into perspective. looking forward to the next part!
Me too!
Being that I love history, I find these lectures very informative and provide perspective to the present day. Your mom brought you to my flower shop twenty years ago when you were visiting. Imagine my surprise upon listening to your anecdote about your family and its connection to our hometown, Iroquois Falls. I look forward to watching (and occasionally chuckle), all of your lectures. Be well and thank you, Julia (Swartz) Sauve
Historically precise video, with lots of archeological background information.
Glad you found it useful!
Hilarios 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
From all the lectures that I’ve listened to in the past three years must be at least 100s of hours. This particular one stands out for some reason very in-depth and very educational. I had to listen to several times.
Glad you found it worthwhile
Having trouble finding the third of this trifecta. Also, can you please tell me the people that lived in Canaan prior to Abraham’s arrival?
Enlightening lecture!Thank you, dear Professor...waiting for More!
fascinating, literate and entertaining. thank you Dr. Abramson.
Glad you enjoyed it!
God bless you and your work ! Shalom!
Same to you!
Excellent lecture. Thank you for this content
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love your teaching Dr. Abramson.
Israeli people are God chosen people. The covenant made with Abraham is eternal.
Bible believers stand for Israel unconditionally. 🙏❤️🇮🇱✡️🕎❤️✌️🇨🇱
Love your historical lectures!!! ❤
Thank you!
Always very well presented and interesting. Even to a Catholic guy like me (although recently found out I have Jewish roots on the paternal side)
Thank you for posting this videos, because I first found your channel by the video discussing Viktor Frankl. I’m appreciative of the long form content, that’s packed with knowledge instead of wasting time not learning. Please don’t stop posting, this channel is amazing and we need more educational topics & representation out there.
Thank you!
Greatly enjoyed your videos,very informative.
Shabbat Shalom from a dying Assyrian who once long before the Israelites were Jews and believed in Hashem/Yahweh and were therefore as numerous as the stars of the sky and the grains of sand on the shores and had the greatest empire and foremost culture on earth; But who unfortunately later turned their backs on Hashem (followed Babylonian idolatry and later the Christian heresy) and therefore were lost in according to the covenant and promises: "If you remain faithful to me, I will make you the greatest, but if you forsake me, I will let you perish."
Thank you..i love the history of Jewish..becauae i am christian so jewish is the root of the my faith so i love to hear your presentation.thanks
Learning a lot here, thank you!
Glad to hear it!
Excellent lecture
Thank you for (showing) the video.
Thank you so much !
You're welcome!
One of a kind bridge to understanding Israel's past and present that gave flavor to life.
Thanks ❤️
Excellent lecture Dr Abramson
Thanks oodles, Dr. Abramson! I've heard much of this in pieces, but it was nice to see it put all together in a single 30-minute narrative. I really appreciated your anecdote about your grandparents, and relating that to our understanding (such as it is) of history. It's a good reminder that these were all real people with real lives, and not just extras on some grander historical drama, which is about all we get from the past. Also, I loved the Chinese take-out box "artifact." What a hoot!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Looking forward to lectures two and three.
Just have to get some time to record them
Most interesting and instructive video. Thank you.
Excellent overview. Thank you !!
Epic history lesson! Spot on, Sir. 👍
6:55 I absolutely love this archaeological-genetic-historical combination. Any Video about Iron age genetics and archeology of israel?
Lovely picture of your grandparents! I always like to see vintage photos of the older generations
Anyways, do you think it’s possible that Ur Kasdim is actually located in northern Mesopotamia, as several Jewish sources such as Josephus and Ramban, suggest it is located?
Thank you,
"Ben Isra~el."
Every word in it is history.
You are welcome
Thank you, sir, for this information.
Looking at your map around 1.40, it seems like the 'middle east' southwest of the caspian and northeast of suez and southeast of Constantinople should just be called "The Middle" and not "The middle east." It's similar to how in the US we call the Midwest an area that is actually the Mideast. It feels like someone is trying to shift the goalposts on us lol
Love your recent content, by the way, Sir.
Thank you Dr. I’m a Christian and just want to educate myself more about the history of God’s chosen nation.
Thank you as usual i really enjoyed it.
Glad you enjoyed it
Very nice work!
Thank you for your videos may God (YHWH) continue to support you in identifying the Children of Israel whether they be in Israel, North America, Europe, Australia, South America, West Africa, Southern Africa or East Africa. Whether they be White, Black or Brown people, please continue to identify the Children of Israel. I enjoyed your video on the Lemba people. Thank you once again so much, looking forward to your next video.
Abraham was an immigrant from Ur who settled in Hebron. He was blessed by a local king for his service in war. Irish annals identify the king of Golgotha in the time of Amenemhat III as Ogamhan.
Ogamhan fought a civil war among the Phoenicians between the sons of Nenual and the sons of Niul.
I enjoy learning the history of my past
So as not to repeat the same mistakes.
Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it
The Chinese food jokes get me every time.
thank-you
I'm not Jewish but still enjoyed the history lesson. Will we ever know the origin of the Jewish people that is before they moved int the region now called Israel
Are you serious?? lol just look it up, it's not a mystery
Thank You Dr.Abramson for your illustrative video from Tanzania. I am scientist and I love history and theology, I am curious about the historical Abraham and moses, in theological narration they have done significant things worth notable in history of their respectful regions and still we dont have any archelogical evidence for their existance,
Many of my science buddies who are not following any of religion regard all the theological figures from Abraham to Moses as myth produced to by Isrealiets to unjustly comit genocide to the existing civilization already prevailing in palestine.
Plz Recommend video to share so as to gate a base for discussion.
I listened once to a Yale course and it was argued that the group who separated from the rest of Caanan tribes and became Jewish was, at least for a while, not very different from them, it was a gradual process of cultural and social differentiation. This makes the story of exodus and conflict after leaving Egypt quite different, if true. Thanks for your dedication and scholarship.
There are different theories about the arrival/settlement/development of the Israelites. Discussed in my forthcoming book.
From a non biblical approach it’s been pretty much confirms that Israelites are a branch of Canaanites. So an Ugarit people who’s ancestors have been in the region (ironically) even longer.
You should have included the archeological discoveries in Saudi Arabia, which are even on google maps now as landmarks!
The golden calf, the bitter springs, the altar, and even Mount Sinai.
Trace the beginning of the Jew-ish to the speech of Jonah. 😊
Jonah was a hit 🎯!!!!! Woohoo they loved his word's!
And to think he almost didn't go because of fear?
God is Almighty and this brought on the justice against those who broken the Covenant of Moses.
You are a great teacher, Professor. A question I have about the synagogue that had been buried in the sand and had beautiful images including the anointing of King David. Would not those images be forbidden in the ten commandments?
Oh, 36 minutes? What a number, right?
I might convert, yah know...if you keep this up. Anymore videos, with 36 minutes and I just might make my announcement. For the sake of Abulafia I feel compelled to do so lately.
Does the depiction of Purim in the Dura-Europos artwork negate the suggestion of Hoschander that the Book of Esther was written by the Chashmonaim?
Always educational and entertaining. Your little corny dad jokes are a good break up to the material.
Could you please describe origin of Hebrew language and point to reports(pear reviewed not disputed) of oldest archaeological artifacts that demonstrate use of it
Gezer calendar c. 10th c BCEA
If Jewish Palestinian Aramaic was In use from 200 bce to 200 ce, and likely Judea’s primary language at the time of Jesus and the early Christians, then when And how Hebrew was used?
@@yasim9435I was taught that Hebrew was the lingua franca in Israel; and, Aramaic was spoken mainly in the Decapolis region. A kind of course merchandising language used particularly by fisherman. It was a semitic dialect; so not difficult to pick up if one applies oneself. Also, necessary (!) in order to insure one was dealt with equitably in business.
Hebrew, being the language of the Bible; and therefore, the language of education (Hebrew children were educated, boys longer, but girls as well, till the age of marriage). It was also, illegal to teach a Hebrew child any language, except "Hebrew". So, it seems they were endeavoring to protect the culture. After adulthood, or if born outside the land, would have been different.
Especially interesting: daughters of Rabbis were considered desirable wives for the insights they would have gleaned from their fathers!
Question Dr Abrahamson: Why does god named Jakob Israel? I never understood literary. Was it in "hebrew" or "aramaic" or which language? What dies it mean or is it just a name for itself? Thank You.
Jacob is the Father of Israel, his 12 sons are the 12 Tribes.
Keep on Proffesor Abamson. Everybody must know how kind, intellectual and spiritual the Jews are in the this world of hatred even to the our existence.
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
WOW! You didn’t mention Yamnaya Culture.
I would like you to know Mr. Abramson that Παλαιστίνη is derived from the Greek word for wrestler, Παλαιστίς. That of course links to the name Israel as you know.
Thank you very much for your videos.
What the Liberal atheists do not understand, why I study religions, because our ancestors wrote history and realized philosophy for us. Namaste fellow Brahman 🙏
I'm a Gentile Jewish Student haha!!! Great lectures!!! Thanka
18:05 What's the connection between Phoenicians and the Sea Peoples? I don't think they were the same people, were they?
Mysterious food containers found on site... HILARIOUS.
This is why I am a subscriber and viewer. Well, one of the reasons.
Glad to have you with us!
Great teachings, Professor. What about the Ethooian Jews and the Jews in Africa of the 10 lost tribes?
Dr. Henry, what is the evidence for the three areas that you circled? I was told that it is a mystery where the people went. I presume that they are the diaspora Jews of Near East and India. Am I wrong?
Might have made this comment already, Go up to founding of the Medina, avoid the modern controversy
King Shalya in Mahabharat mentions to Karna the son of the SunGod, that his Anga kingdom given to him by Duryodhana, was noted as a lower kingdom, mocked, because its subjects were not as patriot as other kingdoms, and was sold as slaves. This is the true origin, which continues a millennium after in Egypt and Hebrews. Thereafter, many millenniums, history has been balanced by Rothchild the owner of EIC and the Western civilisation (British) in India.

Pls don’t cut out the “corny” jokes! I really enjoy your humour.
Thanks!
Please Rabbi, when did we first encounter Lo Mein?
Total misunderstanding of Hebrew text and how the usage of names is done obviously Abraham the Hebrew, because he’s a descendent of a Aber The fact that he was also born in exile on the other side of the river is a extra plus bonus extrapolation
Doctor so much appreciated well done, promised land people Israel
Noah was in Northeast Turkey, Mt Ararat.
The most informative presentation I have seen so far... a little deceptive (understandably)
This life is very demanding & I think your dedication would be a service to the world
Culturally (where) you are born is your historical identification
(me, Californian- of the Americas)=> Not born Christian, Islamic, Hindu, Buddhist... (Choices)
Choices that can be converted
Was Israel (an empire of God) created by...
The U.N..?
Before the U.N.=> Were Jewish people (Israeli)
Hope you found it helpful
I ran the video a 3rd time for this reply... expecting twice that, at the very least@@HenryAbramsonPhD
There was a mention of Sennacherib and the Assyrians, but decided not to show Lachish Reliefs?
It’s actually in the background of the first five minutes of the lecture.
That clip was of the Assyrians not the Judeans/Israelites....But nice lecture. Biased, but informative.@@HenryAbramsonPhD
10:23 That is hilarious!!!
Heh heh heh
What's the difference between the Torah and the Talmud?
Love the joke about Chinese food containers! lol
18:40 She was not recorded as his wife
Num24:2,5-9 And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel abiding in his tents according to their tribes; and the spirit of God came upon him. [5] How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob, and thy tabernacles, O Israel! [6] As the valleys are they spread forth, as gardens by the river's side, as the trees of lign aloes which the Lord hath planted, and as cedar trees beside the waters. [7] He shall pour the water out of his buckets, and his seed shall be in many waters, and his king shall be higher than Agag, and his kingdom shall be exalted. [8] God brought him forth out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn: he shall eat up the nations his enemies, and shall break their bones, and pierce them through with his arrows. [9] He couched, he lay down as a lion, and as a great lion: who shall stir him up? Blessed is he that blesseth thee, and cursed is he that curseth thee.

A great summary of the tribes and absolutely worth watching.
Also mentioned is the Scottish declaration of independence, where they write that they are the descendants of the people of Israel.
Some say the Corronation stone is the stone Jacob slept on when he had his dream.
Thank you for this easy to follow and informative lecture. The world needs more corny jokes, please don’t exclude them.
11:25 Look at those "white European Colonizer" grandparents of yours - they totally look like indigenous Baltic people. /s
With all due respect Dr. I would disagree with you Abraham would have been about 3100 BC. 5784 Jewish year - 2024= 3760 BC. They were called Chaldeans weren't They. Abraham of Ur of Chaldea? Herodotus wrote about the Chaldeans priests in Babylon. Then they were called Ioudai (ee-ouh-they/ee-ou = Jew)
Thanks Doctor!
I loved the analogy with you’re grandfather.
שאין אבות מנחילים שקר לבניהם
(ספר הכוזרי לרבינו יהודה הלוי)
Glad you found it useful!
So you admit Abraham is from Mekka and his wife Hagar too.
Fenicians from Tunesia?
3 chidushim I've learned from R. Ephraim Palvanov
1) Avram was a born in a Hindu (not Baalist Satanic) idolatrous society and from other side might mean from Dharmic influence; only one Temple to Brahma Creator in India today, Creator considered unimportant cuz 'His job is done' - so under this idea Judaism could be considered a branch of Hinduism originally- Hodu/India as farthest East on Tanakh geography just needs a yud to become yehudi- Brahma, god of A bra ham- not to mention Hebrew Sanskrit philological comparison in general
2) Esau wrestled with Yakov and named him Israel (accepted his ability to fulfill both birthright missions- so God confirmed the name later)
3) New paro arose was after overthrow of the Hyksos; the paro of Yoceph was the last Hyksos paro, the Indo-Semitic group that felt cultural affinity for the Israelites (between the ethnicities as a whole as opposed to possible Mesopotamian royal connections between Abraham and Sarai and non-Hyksos paronic royalty- which would make sense why he was so eager to marry her and to so graciously bride priced her heavy nonetheless (a midrash says she got all of Goshen!- and think there a verse in Genesis (keep in mind im not fluent in Hebrew) that implied Yakov or Yudah was like a king of Goshen in Egypt before Exodus- and I think Yoceph gave his mum and dad royal thrones as well)
Sounds like a bunch of BS to me.
There is no year zero. Its 1 to 1.
You are correct. It went directly from 1 BC to 1 AD. But he indicated that by referring to the "fictional year zero."
The Biblical narrative always talks of an individual, eventually a family or a couple of those, traipsing from Mezopotamia to the present day Israel, then to Egypt, then back to the "promised land." But for every family that may have migrated to Egypt, surely there would have been many families that chose to stay put. So when Moses and his tribes returned after several generations, they would have encountered and waged war on their own brethren. Weren't the Canaanites the same Hebrews, merely different by having remained in Canaan, and having developed their own culture and customs in the meantime? Didn't they speak the same language? The same goes for Phoenicians (aka Philistines).
Jerusalem was never on any ancient trade routes it's in the historical record
I had someone tell me Moses was a fake story and Gilgamesh was in fact Moses. Any truth in that?
Not Gilgamesh but Sargon, whose story is much older than Mose's, put in basket in the river, stranger raised him ...
That's natural way of how stories propagate, as Abram lived in mesopotamian culture and religion.
יהוה
Shalom. seed....no more, seems to say (it is enough......big staps).............rebirth seed.........from out the seed.........
2 if a vieuw come up, after truth contact with other live/form, it isn't with words but with worth..........worth is measurable, time not.......i use words by what come up in me as picture or as serie points with or without room between the points.
nb. not for to be sure about it is a message from G'd.......but research, (so long if the individue need) can create it clear an this seems to be stand on itself...........so, not easy to be sure about it is message from G'd..............(but, it can be, haha.)
Why does the Jews not say where they originated from? Historians claim they came from the area north of Ethiopia. What is the truth?
Watch the video please
religion is not nationality, it's a maner to live your relation with god. muslim are also a descendant of Ibraham, do not frgot it, you need to read bakara sourat
