Great World Religions: Judaism Lectures 01-12 (mp3) Taught by Isaiah M. Gafni
Hebrew University, Jerusalem
Ph.D., Hebrew University, Jerusalem
В чём суть иудаизма? Можно ли свести её к 10 заповедям, которые Бог дал Израилю на горе Синай? Или это всё без исключения, о чём сказано в Книгах Торы? А может быть есть в нём что-то, выходящее за пределы Ветхого Завета? Иудаизм - великая религия, но религиозная практика евреев алии отличалась поразительным разнообразием, хотя в её основе всегда лежало общее наследие избранного Богом народа. Профессор Исайя М. Гафни ( Hebrew University of Jerusalem )посвятил этот цикл из 12 лекций 4,000-летней истории Иудаизма, одной из древнейших и влиятельнейших мировых религий.

The Crusades have been hailed as the driving force that brought Western Europe out of the Middle Ages—and condemned as the beginning of European imperialism in the Muslim Near East. But what really were the Crusades? What were the forces that led to one of history’s most protracted and legendary periods of conflict? How did they affect the three great civilizations that participated in them? And, ultimately, why did they end and what did they accomplish?
