  • Insightful

    Dovid Katz is a brilliant historian. He preserves and communicates the Jewish experience of Christian Europe, the Muslim world, and America. Learn about your world from the perspective of a people who are immersed in, yet distinct from dominant cultures.

    (It would be great if someone provided translations of the most common Yiddish words Rabbi Katz uses: mamesh, goy, sefer, klal, yiddishkite, etc.)
