A 13-part worldwide series Presented by Ronald Eyre 7: The Chosen People
What makes a Jew, a Jew? In New York Elie Wiesel, author and survivor of the concentration camps, tries to define it. In London Norbert Brainin and the Amadeus Quartet carry the argument further, both in music and in words. The argument is not about the accepted fact that God spoke to the Jews-but rather, what do His words mean? In Jerusalem Dr Pinchas Pell, sixth generation rabbi and sixth generation Jerusalemite, acts as guide to the stormy but close relationship between the Jews and their God.
