Description

Transitions is part II of a three part mini-series. In part I (Origin of a Word), I discussed the origin of anti-semitism starting with Noah's son Shem, covering a wide canvas of little known history through the Second Temple period. In this episode, I outline the events that transpired after the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 AD, through the perils of the Dark and Middle Ages and finally reaching the shores of the Age of Discovery in the Renaissance period.
