Very informative. Loved the presentation. This guy must be every one’s favorite professor. I never knew there was a National Museum of American Jewish history in Philadelphia. As someone who listens to American Revolutionary War Videos on youtube as background music at work, I really appreciated this trip down American Jewish History Lane.
