From the Travels through History Series
History 4 / Biblical Era
3 Lectures

Egyptology meets Bible history in this unique look at the Exodus story. More than just a retelling of the familiar, Rabbi Wein analyzes the history and culture of Ancient Egypt, pointing the ways their records interlock with ours. But since most of the hieroglyphics “write us out” of the picture, Rabbi Wein draws the even more chilling parallels between our enslavement under Pharaoh and the Nazi and Soviet regimes.
