THE SEVEN WONDERS OF JEWISH HISTORY is a compelling educational presentation, part of Aish HaTorah’s acclaimed Discovery Seminar, designed to explore the extraordinary trajectory of Jewish history and its alignment with Biblical prophecy. Presented by Ken Spiro, a well-known historian, educator, and licensed Israeli tour guide, the session offers a unique perspective on the survival, influence, and prophetic destiny of the Jewish people throughout millennia.
The presentation aims to show how Jewish history defies natural historical patterns and aligns with predictions made thousands of years ago in the Torah and prophetic writings. It focuses on seven “wonders”—unusual, often inexplicable aspects of Jewish survival and influence.
This event is sponsored by the Jaffe family.
Free admission, suggested donation $18.
