    Lesson One
    Courageous Converts

    A Roman prince outwits his uncle to study Torah, an Italian priest studies his way to a new life, and a Polish noble meets an old Jew studying Talmud on a Paris park bench - see their journey to Judaism and what came next.

     

    Lesson Two
    Influential Jews

    Spain's top Torah scholar leads a Muslim Army, an Amsterdam rabbi with a printshop talks England into readmitting Jews, and a rabbi teaches a Catholic scholar and saves Central Europe's Jewish books - how did they integrate Judaism into their influence?

     

    Lesson Three
    Unsung Heroines

    A businesswoman saves thousands from the Inquisition and rebuilds Jewish life across the Mediterranean, and a female Torah scholar shapes Halachic discourse while raising a family, feeding students, and caring for the sick - see the secret ways women shaped Jewish history.

     

    Lesson Four
    Heroes and Hostages

    Four rabbis are captured by 10th-century pirates, Germany's foremost Jewish leader is held for ransom, and thousands of East European Jews languish in Ottoman slave markets - how did Jewish communities respond?
