A sad history ... Thanks Mr Abramson. My only complaint is that the sessions are so short. Really enjoy these classes

LOVE LOVE LOVE your series professor! I pray that both you and your audience are safe and sound in New York City now. I didn't pay attention to the date of your lectures until now.

Interesting, very. I am a Christian and love to listen historical lectures. This one is exceptional. Let me see our history in others eyes. Thank you.

I am a Catholic Christian and i find your lectures very fair and enlightening. I especially "enjoy" (for lack of a better term) this part and how and when Christianity parted from Judaism. It is a crime, obviously, all of the antisemitism and atrocities conmitted against Jews since 70 CE in the name of Christianity. If more Christians like myself knew history better perhaps, like me, they would have a more positive perspective on Jews and Judaism. Judaism existed before and without Christianity. But Christianity wouldn't exist without Judaism.

And just when I thought that you couldn’t improve on your previous lecture series, you did! Excellent, informative, educational and entertaining as we’ve all come to expect from the Dean of Jewish History.

Just wanted to say I think you make the most phenomenal Jewish jokes during your lectures - but it has been alarming to me how lacking in a sense of humor the audience has been.

48:25 Cassius Dio. Josephus was dead by the time of the Bar Kokhba Revolt. I think it probably was a ban on circumcision. Hadrian really didn't like them.

I'd hope not to be awake at that time in the morning, but you never know.
