So, we begin. Good evening. Today we have a very interesting topic, the 7 Wonders of Jewish History. This class was presented to students at Shatura, where I studied many years ago in 1996, and this class shows us Jewish history from a new perspective. We don’t just hear excerpts, a little bit here, a little bit there. And today we will try to look at Jewish history with new eyes to appreciate it as a whole picture. Each nation believes that they are Each nation believes that they are unique, each nation actually has some unique features. Let’s look at what is unique about the Jews, and when we compare it with other nations, we can see something interesting. We can see at the end of this lesson that something incredible is happening with the something incredible is happening with the Jewish nation in other nations. There may be one or two unique things, and they may not be related to each other, but when we look at Jewish history, we will see that one unique thing follows another unique thing. For example, when we talk about the 7 Wonders of the World around the world, here it’s all concentrated on the Jews. And not only that, concentrated on the Jews. And not only that, each new miracle makes the previous one even better. more incredible and let's begin One day, King Ludwig XIV asked a famous mathematician and Christian physicist without Pascal in the 17th century He asked him Please show me what is in this world Supernatural to which Pascal answered him a Jew Your Majesty a Jew and everyone Who studies Jewish history understands that the Jews are unusual we are persecuted by everyone hated by everyone everyone is trying to kill us everyone is envious of us
