I liked the drama of the show but tbh I was a bit unnerved by some of the violence. With the amount of anti semitism these days, I fear people who are not Jewish or do not know a lot of Jews getting their opinions of Jews from shows like this

I was bothered somewhat by the son's return and then attending various events in a shul and not wearing a kippa. Seems to me that out of habit, respect, his refusal to honor a known tradition was a visible insult, a slap in the face. Also a bit surprised he did not get called on this wile in shul. I have seen over any number of years non Jews respecting a Jewish tradition by putting on a hat or kippa.

Great ‘drop’ this week and thanks for using my grandma Ceil’s story - my hand to G-d, it’s true.

Well first question would be where were the diamond, sapphire and diamond mines?

This is part B of the first question: Have any of these historic mines been found?

Or at least the tools used to extract and shape them into breast plate designs.

And of course a comment: who knew god liked precious gems!

And second is not actually a question.

You casually dropped the word finance in your Drop. So I’d like a section on that too!

And yes I wondered When in each European country and the UK were Jews finally allowed to own land. And moving east might as well add the Ottoman Empire.

And yes I wondered if it was part of god’s plan for Jews to own land only in the Holy Land and not elsewhere. God’s motives are occasionally obscure and round about, sometimes even mysterious.
