Who was Eldad ha-Dani? Jewish Biography as History by Dr. Henry Abramson

Описание к видео Who was Eldad ha-Dani? Jewish Biography as History by Dr. Henry Abramson

Claiming descent from the long-lost Ten Tribes of Israel, Eldad was a ninth-century traveler with a fantastic story: beyond the "River Kush" lay an intact civilization of Jews who enjoyed political sovereignty, in preparation for their eventual return to the Land of Israel in messianic times. Surviving shipwreck, cannibals and attack from fire-worshipping pagans, Eldad's story of the mystical river Sambatyon and the Jews who lived there captivated the Jewish mind for centuries, and had a lasting impact on the development of Christian thought as well. But was he for real? Part of the Jewish Biography as History series by Dr. Henry Abramson. More lectures available at www.henryabramson.com.
