Mr. Sam Kapustin - The Jews of Eretz Yisrael During the Christian and Muslim Periods

We were privileged to hear a speech from renowned educator and historian Sam Kupustin, Jewish Studies Principal of the CHAT School in Toronto. Continuing our trek through Jewish history via our unique Shiurim V’siyurim Program, Mr. Kapustin shared some of his vast knowledge with a shiur entitled “The Jews of Eretz Yisrael During the Christian and Muslim Periods.” Using original sources from the period, along with extensive maps and charts, Mr. Kapustin made this time period come alive for our students and gave us the context and background necessary to continue our siyurim throughout the Land of Israel. .
