Jews have never been numerous in terms of population. Thus, the Jewish people have always lived apart as a distinct minority in the midst of a greater 'majority culture.' This series by Rabbi Berel Wein portrays Jewish answers to the difficulties posed by paganism, Christianity, Islam, the Enlightenment, and secularism and the tribulations created for Jews by those cultures. This series not only tells the story of the Jewish response to these difficulties, but also provides insights and fascinating information about these non-Jewish cultures. In a time when Judaism is again challenged by new waves of post-modernism and globalization, it is important to learn lessons from the past to see how Jews survived and eventually triumphed over other cultures.
