Jews in the Ottoman Empire / Palestine
Jewish Societies in Retrospect

The Ottoman Empire was founded in the 13th Century and encompassed a large part of Europe at the height of its rule centuries later. During its reign it held sway over Jerusalem and controlled the population of what was then called Palestine. This lecture takes you back to the mighty rulers of this vast Empire and puts you in the mindset of the Jews who lived under their authority. Rabbi Wein expounds on the rich history of this period, from Suleiman the Great to the eventual downfall of this once great dynasty. It is an eye-opening look into the early days of Palestine and how the Jews lived so many centuries ago.
