Product: Heritage - Civilization and the Jews (1984)
Rating: 5.0
A fine history of Israel by the great Abba Eban
These DVDs are my favourites of all documentaries I own, and among my top five favourites of all documentaries I've seen. Abba Eban makes the history of Israel interesting and even, at times, fascinating. The footage on each and every DVD is sometimes captivating, other times stunning, and rarely boring. I learnt so much history and culture of Jews and their civilization, history, and religion from these DVDs. The Jews are one of the foundational components of Western civilization. Without studying their history and culture, you cannot satisfactorily know and understand Western history and culture. Plus Eban has a sense of humour that made me laugh on a few instances. He is eloquent and the research behind these DVDs is excellent and was obviously extensive. I go back to these DVDs occasionally, and still enjoy them each time. Expensive but worth the investment.
