Item Description:

Jews, wherever they lived in the world, did not live in a vacuum. No matter where the wandering Jews chose to plant their roots, the social, political and nationalistic mores of the times always influenced the life of the Diaspora Jew. In this lecture series, Jewish Societies in Retrospect, take a walk down memory lane and learn how the rulers of the lands and the societies at large affected the lives of the Jews who called these lands home.
