In this episode we look at the Jewish Educational system in Amsterdam in the times of Spinoza. The Yeshiva had a system of six grades from the age of seven until twenty one. How does this correspond to modern educational systems?

We also examine the issue of did Spinoza remember his birth mother, who died when he was six? How much of an influence should this have had on him?
