How Rashi Decoded Ancient Jewish Texts | The Jewish Story | Unpacked
Anyone who opens the Talmud will see commentary written by Rabbi Shlomo Yitzchaki, better known as Rashi. In this episode we explore who Rashi was and why his writing has been considered a “guiding light” through the centuries.
The First Crusade was a dark time when non-Christians faced the choice of conversion or death. Born in 1040 in France, Rashi knew from a young age that he wanted to be a guiding light for the Jewish people. After learning from the leading sages of the time, Rashi became a vintner, joined the rabbinical court, and then founded his own yeshiva at the age of 30, where he began to write his commentary.
Rashi wrote a “simple” meaning of the text, making the Talmud more accessible for all readers. Although he died before he could complete his work, thanks to his daughters and their families, Rashi’s legacy has survived and prospered. His wisdom has guided Jews from the Dark Ages to today.

The study of history almost always focuses on men. We all know that. That’s why this week we’re redressing the gender balance and unpacking ten awesome women of Zionism who have made - and who continue to make - an incredible impact on the State of Israel.
You’ve probably heard of some of these women, but others - and their achievements - have been relegated to the footnotes of history.
Which is crazy because starting from when the State of Israel was nothing more than a dream and a prayer, and Zionism was still just an idealistic phrase, women have played a tremendous part in shaping everything from language and medicine to literature and politics.
That’s why we’re super excited to make sure people know why Hemda Ben-Yehuda deserves just as much credit as her husband Eliezer for reviving the Hebrew language, why Rachel Yanait Ben-Zvi wasn’t just the wife of the second president of Israel, and how Ruth Calderon is affecting change in the very fabric of Israeli society.
Our list of these top 10 women is not exhaustive. In fact, it barely scratches the surface. That’s why we’d love to hear what you think. Which women do you think have played the biggest or most influential roles in Israeli life? Let us know your list of wonder women below.

THE B
the-boxer-who-fought-for-his-life-at
Salamo Arouch, a young Jewish boxer from Greece, was sent to Auschwitz in 1943. Suddenly finding himself in brutal matches staged to “entertain” the Nazi SS officers, the undefeated Balkan light-medium weight boxing champion was no longer fighting for a title, he was fighting for his life.
Beyond names and numbers, Faces of the Holocaust provides a groundbreaking approach that adds a human context to the quintessential crime against humanity. Watch the rest of the series here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHxhJz-tZ3M&list=PL-DNOnmKkUaZju-8cE215w39QVJDvMqB5

About Faces of the Holocaust: Transcending the sheer enormity of the horror, the series introduces viewers to the human paradigms of the period, the place, the culture and the social landscapes and norms. Rather than telling stories about the people and how the Holocaust affected them, the series tells the stories of the human mosaic that defined, enabled, defied and resisted the Holocaust.
About Unpacked: People are complex and complicated — yet we’re constantly being pushed to oversimplify our world. At Unpacked we know that being complex makes us more interesting. Because of this, we break the world down with nuance and insight to drive your curiosity and challenge your thinking.

Hatikvah - But is it hope for all?
On this week's History of Israel Explained, we’re looking at one of the most Israeli things out there - HaTikvah, or The Hope - Israel’s stirring, meaningful and, some might say, controversial national anthem.
Unlike other anthems that speak of triumph and victory, the Israeli anthem is a mash up between a Romanian folk-melody, a 16th-century Italian song, and the lyrical thoughts of a drunk romantic poet. Not exactly the stuff of nationalistic dreams, but like the State of Israel itself, Hatikvah is both a symbol of Jewish hope and identity and the anthem for a multicultural and multi-ethnic state dedicated to equality.
Whew, that’s a lot of pressure for a two-verse song.
So what exactly is so controversial about this hopeful song and why do some Israelis refuse to stand up when it’s played (which can be a controversy all of its own)?
Let us know what you think about Hatikvah, the role of anthems in general or any of the other topics we’ve discussed on History of Israel Explained. Drop your thoughts on this video in the comments below and remember to subscribe to our channel to make sure you don’t miss out on any upcoming videos.

New channel alert https://youtube.com/@todayunpacked
When the Babylonians conquered the kingdoms of Israel nearly 3,000 years ago, Jews were sent into a far flung diaspora.
Over time, Jewish communities established around the world from Ethiopian Jews who crowned a Jewish queen, and created their own holidays, to the Yemenite Jewish community that has multiple origin stories.
Whether they settled in India and Libya, Cochin or Kaifang, the rich heritage and traditions Jews have passed down for generations remain steadfast in their global presence today.

Judaism does not recognize Jesus as the embodiment of God Himself or as the son of God. So how did Jesus, born and raised as a Jew, become such a globally recognized and iconic figure? And did the Jews really kill Jesus?
