Jewish History Crash Course Update

Posted on February 2, 2010 Updated on February 5, 2010

Rabbi Berel Wein’s website www.jewishhistory.org has been upgraded and now includes some of the crash course articles I have been working on and written about previously on this blog.

As you will see, not all the courses are up and other aspects of the website are still in progress. Nevertheless, I am glad it is up. It is designed to be the address on the internet for anything to do with Jewish history. It not only includes the written courses I have been working on, but videos, a blog and more.

The written courses that I have been working on, and am continuing to work on, are actually reduced versions of a more complete rendition of history lectures adapted from Rabbi Wein’s widely-enjoyed tapes series, Travels Through Jewish History. The thought was that the longer versions (average of 3-4,000 words each) were too long for the Internet-surfing generation. These longer versions will hopefully also be available at some point.

I plan to share more about this, and other exciting writing projects I am working on, in the near future.
