Jewish History - Monarchy and Divided Kingdom (c. 1000-587 BCE) (3a of 20 sessions)

In the second session exploring Ancient Jewish History, Rabbi Adam Chalom, Dean - North America of the International Institute for Secular Humanistic Judaism, explores what can be known from the first millennium BCE about the Hebrew kingdoms of Israel and Judah. Archeology's voice grows louder as we move into the Hebrew monarchies.The legendary David and Saul give way to the historical Omri, Jehu and Hezekiah. This period may also have seen the beginnings of the stories that would become the Torah. See the other videos in this series at    • Introduction to Jewish History  . The recommended reading in Rabbi Sherwin Wine's A Provocative People: A Secular History of the Jews for this session is pp61-79.
