This is a series of 24 lectures about the development of Judiasm. The lecturer is knowlegeable but the content is somewhat boring. I learned some about Judiasm although the beginning lectures covered much of what is written in the Bible. Since most people have read the Bible this is not highly informative. I did find it interesting that Judiasm has evolved over time to adapt to the lack of a temple. New concepts such as rabbis and synagogues are not in the Bible.
