I hobble over to my office, fall into my desk chair, and turn on YouTube. I click on the Sam Aronow channel and listen to Sam Aronow teach about the Fifth Aliyah.
So you may ask, “Who is Sam Aronow?
He’s a talented filmmaker with an admirable goal of teaching Jewish history on YouTube.
In his words, “I run a YouTube channel dedicated to putting Jewish history back in the context of world history.”
For years, I’ve been a fan of Sam’s channel. I’ve viewed many of his videos. Some of them on more than one occasion.
Sam’s a master storyteller. I love his narration, artwork, style, tone, and sense of humor. He makes the history of Zionism and Judaism entertaining and informative.
You know his series is good because he has over 77.9 K subscribers. Sam wants to hit 100,000 subscribers, so if you enjoy his artistic endeavors, subscribe.
Watch an episode, I promise you it will be worth your time.
You can thank me later.
