Tracing the development of the Jewish community in Sasanian Persia after the Bar Kochba revolt, this lecture focuses on the scholarly activity of Rabbis in Israel and Babylonia resulting in the massive compilation known as the Talmud. This advance version of the video is unedited, including cheesy jokes, for members of the channel. A slightly cleaned-up version is scheduled to premiere on Monday at 7pm EST.
