Episode Description from the Publisher

What explains the survival of the Jewish people against every prediction of history? In this fascinating class, Rabbi Shafier explores how the Jewish nation survived exile, persecution, and repeated attempts to destroy them... yet still kept the Torah alive and returned to the Land of Israel after nearly 2,000 years. This powerful lecture will challenge the way you see Jewish history and leave you thinking long after it ends. This podcast has been graciously sponsored by JewishPodcasts.fm.
