Jewish History - Ashkenazi Jewry (12a of 20 sessions)

In the Middle Ages, many Jews were both forced to and invited to leave Western Europe and move east. They came, but they brought their language with them and created a thriving thousand-year culture in Yiddish. And if they suffered under Christendom, they also sang and studied and laughed. Rabbi Adam Chalom, Dean for North America of the International Institute for Secular Humanistic Judaism, continues his exploration of medieval Jewish history by discussing the Jews of Central and Eastern Europe.
