About Explainers: From ancient Jewish traditions to the modern State of Israel, we explain it all. Diving into anything and everything related to Jewish culture, history, and even religion.
Understand Jewish holidays, Israeli politics, Jewish diasporic communities, and more. Learn about Judaism in pop culture, debunking myths about Jews, and explore obscure Israeli landmarks. We’re asking questions as basic as “What is the Talmud?”, and as obscure as “How did hip-hop boost Kosher wine sales?”, and everything in between.
About Unpacked: We provide nuanced insights by unpacking all things Jewish. People are complex and complicated — yet we’re constantly being pushed to oversimplify our world. At Unpacked we know that being complex makes us more interesting. Because of this, we break the world down with nuance and insight to drive your curiosity and challenge your thinking.

Hamilton? Newton? Presley? jews will claim anyone. Who’s next Hitler? Oh wait jews tried to say he was jewish too
Alexander hamilton? Isaac Newton? Erik Satie? All of them
are Jewish? Whose next? Columbus? Oh wait you could have him
Keep in mind, at that time, many Jews would hide as Catholics or Christian if they could. And specially when looking for public acceptance. Some have done this for centuries. Male and female.
Jewish people and slavery in Caribbean and USA is hidden even here…hidden hidden in South Africa hidden in South America…..
Hamilton was a member of hellfire club in England kind of secret society
the more i read about Jews, their persecution, their resilience, state of Israel and Jewish successes, i feel pains for the the suffering they went through due to ignorance, happy for the success they have achieved. what reason has the world to hate Jews?
Imagine if Alexander Hamilton told his friend George Washington that he was Jewish and had Jewish heritage. Considering that George Washington was friendly and kind towards Jewish people and supported religious tolerance he probably would still have supported Alexander and remained friends with him.
Alexander Hamilton. Hey George I am actually Jewish. My mom converted to Judaism before I was born. George Washington. It is perfectly fine if you continue to follow your Jewish beliefs. You are a revolutionary Patriot just like the rest of us and it does not matter whether you are Jewish or not. Alexander Hamilton. Thank you George. George Washington. You are welcome Alexander.
Hamilton would not be a jew. Rabbinical teaching means nothing. The bible says the bloodline is paternal. Hamilton is his father, not Levine.
He also might have wanted to be buried next to her .
