unsolved jewish mysteries
SEASON THREE
The Jews have accumulated a lot of stuff…
The Jews have accumulated a lot of stuff over the last few thousand years, and some of it has gone missing. And some things were really valuable and important. This season we are diving into unsolved Jewish mysteries — things that have been lost to our history. From ancient relics to mythical monsters, spiritual texts to lost tombs, hidden Jews to, inevitably, golden treasure, we set out to find that which we know existed, what we think might have existed, and what may have only existed in the metaphysical realm. Here be mysteries!
