By Nina Koshofer. This five-part documentary explores 4,000 years of Jewish history, starting with the origins of the Jewish people in the Middle East right through to present day Judaism. The series researches the roots of the Jewish people, seeking clues about Judaism at the archaeological excavation sites, the centers of culture and in the written evidence of the Jewish Diaspora.

"The purpose of the documentary is to give the public deeper insight, beyond the Holocaust and Israeli politics, into the Jewish people...We wanted to enlighten people on the historical development of Jews and their faith. We chose people with whom the public could identify. We also want to show the diversity of the Jewish people the rich and the poor, the famous and unknowns...We wanted to try and answer the question that perhaps never really can be answered who is Jewish and what is Jewish..."--Nina Koshofer (Director).
