Retrospective on "Heritage: Civilization and the Jews"

Back in 1984, Abba Eban’s PBS series, Heritage: Civilization and the Jews, made an enormous splash, was viewed by 50 million people and won a Peabody Award and two Emmys. This nine-part series tells the Jewish story from ancient times in Mesopotamia, through Roman antiquity and the Middle Ages, through the Holocaust to present-day America and Israel. 

Below are is the three-part seminar in which I discussed key points from the series and how they are relevant today.
