The Origins of Judaism | Yonatan Adler PhD

Throughout much of history, the Jewish way of life has been characterized by strict adherence to the practices and prohibitions legislated by the Torah: dietary laws, ritual purity, circumcision, Sabbath regulations, holidays, and more. But precisely when did this unique way of life first emerge, and why specifically at that time?

In this revolutionary new study, Yonatan Adler methodically engages ancient texts and archaeological discoveries to reveal the earliest evidence of Torah observance among ordinary Judeans. He examines the species of animal bones in ancient rubbish heaps, the prevalence of purification pools and chalk vessels in Judean settlements, the dating of figural representations in decorative and functional arts, evidence of such practices as tefillin and mezuzot, and much more to reconstruct when ancient Judean society first adopted the Torah as authoritative law.

Focusing on the lived experience of the earliest Torah observers, this investigative study transforms much of what we thought we knew about the genesis and early development of Judaism.

Yonatan Adler’s book is great, and our methodologies are remarkably similar, although we operate with different data sets. Distinguishing between what we know, what we don’t know, and what we as scholars only think we know has been my mantra for decades and has guided my research in identifying and setting aside counter-productive assumptions in my field, much as Adler has independently done in his. Another terrific podcast, Derek.

Have I mentioned lately how truly impressive your channel has become? I was just reading an article about your guest's new book in Smithsonian Magazine and was going to suggest that you attempt to interview him, and you already have. Great work, as always. I think you've really found your calling.

This was real good, love Yonatan Adler :) BTW I find it amazing that a proud Jew like Yonatan can be so intellectually honest. Compare it with Protestant Christians, let alone Muslims…

I’m fascinated by the notion that the Torah is not merely a way of life, but might be seen as a constitution — a foundation document for a people. I find it interesting in light of having heard that the Greek epics were not just sit-around-the-fire stories but were textbooks.

The Torah Scroll 📜 is the most beautiful and important thing to me right now ❤️

Although I am a religious Jew, I find this video incredibly confirming. My own studies over the decades, of my faith's history and traditions has led me to many of the same conclusions expressed here.

This was really interesting. I'm usually critical of some of the people you have but this guy was super interesting. I kept rewinding it to hear it over again to make sure I got it all...

A great interview. There is so much to learn that is beyond sermons in church. I have left the faith, but continue to find this material fascinatingl.

I just watched the interview. It totally blew my mind in terms of how I viewed the history of the ancient near east. Especially given the mystique that Judaism had among the Greco-Roman peoples for being ancient.

I really appreciate Dr. Adler’s reliance on proven data to support his findings. I first became acquainted with the concept of the paucity for the evidence, to support an historical Israel prior to the seventh century, in Robert Bellah’s book, “Religion in Human Evolution: From the Palaeolithic to the Axial Age”. This channel is always informative and extremely interesting in the topics reviewed.

Dr Adler, I salute you. Deep archeological research and, just as importantly, you have a rare ability as a scholar to communicate your findings to the laity. More than that, you know how to connect your research to common misunderstandings. And Thanks 🙏 Derek, another incredible video.

This is really good. Gotta say man, you really seem to be at the forefront of getting onboard scholars who are engaging in some very interesting theories. I think Yonatan's and Russell's books could become standard reading on the subject in the coming decades (maybe within a decade).

Very well prepared interview, kudos to Mr. Derek Mythvision.

I would really love to hear the comparison of how Galileans observed the law as opposed to the Judeans. I am really curious about how Palestine is shaped by the Hasmoneans right before Jesus' time. I would love to hear more from Dr. Adler.
