MAYER AMSCHEL ROTHSCHILD - FOUNDER OF A DYNASTY

In this fascinating video, Rabbi Dunner is joined by Rabbi Aubrey Hersh, as they dive into the legendary Rothschild dynasty—an iconic Jewish family that's been linked to both immense wealth and wild conspiracy theories! From claims of controlling world finance to wild ideas like "space lasers," the Rothschild name is a mix of admiration and suspicion. Rabbi Hersh takes us back to the 18th century, where Mayer Amschel Rothschild, starting from the Jewish ghetto of Frankfurt, built a banking empire that reshaped the financial world. Discover how he achieved his success, how his family and descendants played a crucial role in expanding the empire, and why the Rothschild legacy continues to influence global finance - and Jewish identity - to this day.
