(William K. Natale, 2009-08-03) There can be no debate: this is one of TV's best cultural contributions ever. Despite a few production values which are a bit dated even in this restored dvd, it's entertaining and visually rich. The content is true to the title, and this IS the history of the Jewish people, but Heritage is also very much about all of western civilization. Abba Eban is the perfect narrator,and also part of the Jewish history on which he expounds. It's not apparent from his scripted role, but the late Dr. Eban was an extraordinarily articulate scholar turned politician. I remember him as Israel's ambassador to the UN, and his ability to speak extemporaneously, clearly, and persuasively stood out in the 60s, and would still today.

(A. Landman, 2007-07-27) It is so great that I want to install the Interactive Multimedia DVD in my new PC but seems it doesn't work with Windows Vista. Did anybody solved this problem?

(Rosamond E. Stidam, 2007-06-10) The set of 5 tapes arrived in an insulated box but the tape box itself had a dent in it. That first tape on that side of the box had split in two on the plastic. I did write the company about it and they answered very quickly and said to send the tape back and they would replace it. My husband decided he would try to clue the broken piece. Fortunately it worked so we decided to forgo the mailing back of the tape. The outer box that this set was mailed in was not dented and we think that the box with the tapes was damaged before it was put in the mailing box. Accidents do happen and it would not prevent me from ordering again from this company. Rosamond S.

(Dr. Dean Evan Hart, 2007-03-10) the very first disk was defective and i called the company and they told me "tough"

(Shalom Freedman, 2006-05-28) Abba Eban was not only the most accomplished and articulate of all Israeli diplomats, he was also a person of immense learning and intelligence. Had he wished he could have taken a different road in life and become like his close friend, Bernard Lewis, a great scholar. Instead he made a certain sacrifice and devoted his life to the cause of helping the Jewish state come into being and survive. This nine- part series is not concentrated on Israel but rather is a survey of Jewish civilization. Eban tries to show us how Jews interacted with the surrounding world, both learning and giving to the larger native socieities. From Babylon and Egypt to the Western Civlization of the present day Eban relates a story of a small people's long journey and meetings with others. This is an illuminating survey and will give anyone who wishes to know more about Jewish life and history a real opportunity to do so.
