Seder Olam Rabbah in 10 Minutes

from Everything Jewish - 10 Minutes at a Time

What do you get when the rabbis try to write the ultimate Jewish history timeline—from Adam to Bar Kochba—without Google, Wikipedia, or a single sticky note? You get Seder Olam Rabbah! This epic (and sometimes eyebrow-raising) chronicle stitches together Biblical events, rabbinic tradition, and just a bit of creative math to tell the story of the world—Jewish-style. Want to know how old the universe is? How long the Israelites were in Egypt? When the Second Temple fell? The rabbis of Seder Olam had answers. Definitive ones. Possibly arguable ones. But hey, who's counting? (Spoiler: they were.) Join us as we unravel the rabbinic timeline of everything—and find out what happens when the sages try to turn Tanakh into a calendar.
