Thomas Sewell presents the "History of the Jews", Part 1 and Part 2. Thomas Sewell, a great voice, a man of integrity. I found part one very interesting due to having some Jewish ancestry whereby some of ancestors went from Spain and travelled to Holland prior to arriving in London, England.
The Sephardic Jews that went to Amsterdam and then to a particular area of London were known has 'Chuts'. Mr Arbede, an orthodox Jew was a Ciger maker and he had a kiosk in Shaftsbury Avenue. His daughter was a seamstress and she gave birth to my grandfather Joseph. Catherine only brought up her eldest son in Judaism, she had married outside of Judaism. Joseph was her first born and the bible mentions how the first born is dedicated to the LORD.
Joseph married Sarah and my dad was the youngest Son of Joseph.
Thomas Sewell focuses on the history in these videos, although he doesn't mention the Jewish mystics that lived in Spain.
These videos were uploaded a year ago.
Part 2, 45mins
"When you want to help people, you tell them the truth. When you want to help yourself, you tell them what they want to hear". Thomas Sewell. Parking this quote on this blogpost for archiving purposes.
