Dr. Abramson, I am a gentile who greatly appreciates all of your channel. I grew up in the American Southeast and had limited opportunity to learn about Jewish culture or history, but realized there was a lot to learn when I took a Medieval Studies class. I now teach in a very diverse metropolitan area, and I've learned a lot from my students about so many other cultures. You enlighten us about the complex history of the Jewish people in a very rigorous way, but without being 100% dry and detached. Thank you for the content you create here.

It is very admirable the Jewish commitment to education and history.
