THE
INCREDIBLE
STORY OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE
Jewish women have played a critical/joint role in the
development and survival of Judaism for 4,000 years.
Not many details of their contribution to Judaism have been recorded.
These videos are mainly the stories of a few who played a critical role
and whose details are known.
Most videos below have come from the research of
Dr Henry Abramson, Dean of Lander College of Arts and Sciences
in Flatbush, New York
whose work in online education stands out.
