The Origin of the Jews: The Quest for Roots in a Rootless Age

The Jews have one of the longest continuously recorded histories of any people in the world, but what do we actually know about their origins?

Scholars have come up with scores of explanations and theories and some skeptics have even sought to debunk the very idea that a common origin is shared. Professor Steven Weitzman invites us on an intellectual adventure through genealogical, linguistic and archaeological discoveries, as well as the ongoing challenges we face in discovering how the Jews came to be.
