A channel dedicated to putting Jewish history back in the context of world history. New videos on Fridays.

In addition to the main history videos, I also have two limited series: Jewish History on the Road, in which I visit historical Jewish sites, and Jewish History on the Plate, in which I discuss the histories of traditional Jewish foods.

Hello everyone,

The video I intended to release today is currently on hold due to a rights issue. This isn't a copyright claim; I knew ahead of time that I needed to clear the rights for film footage, but it's taking longer than expected. Rest assured, the video in question is available ad-free for Patreon members and I'm already well into work on other episodes. Thank you for understanding and apologies for the delay.

Hello all, just checking in to say I am (1) still alive and (2) still working on the next video. It's just turned out to be the longest video I've ever made.

Happy New Year!

If anyone sees this who is Jewish and has played baseball at a college or professional level (within the last 20 years and in a country where it’s a mainstream sport), please reach out to me. I have a question for you that’s kinda dumb but has been in my head for most of my adult life.

As a personal courtesy, I'd like to give a shout-out to the Handsome Bastard barbershop in Rogers Park, Chicago. A couple weeks ago, I was in the neighborhood and needed to use the bathroom (in a city where businesses tend not to let people off the street use their bathrooms). But they did, and I was so impressed/grateful that I decided to get a haircut the next day. The barbershop is large and impressive-looking but unpretentious and refreshingly affordable (not unlike Chicago itself) and the owner wasn't a weirdo who wanted to lecture me about the "true nature" of the pyramids (I've had bad experiences looking for new barbers). I promised I'd give them a shout-out so here it is:
