    Surviving Jews in Nazi Europe - how long can they last?

    I'm not sure why, but I've always been fascinated by remnants - both remnant populations of ethnic/linguistic/religious groups, as well as remnants of 'resistance' that continue for longer than they would be expected to, like the post-WWII Japanese holdouts for example. However, in this thread...

    How will a fiercely polygamous Christianity really have been for many Europeans? So let's just say that there was some sect of Christianity before and after the Roman empire converted to Christianity and this sect was fiercely polygamous meaning the males practicing it typically take more than...

    WI The Lost Tribe Returns: Israel develops a ‘Special Relationship’ with Afghanistan in the 1960s?

    The belief that the ethnic Pashtuns of Afghanistan and Pakistan are in fact descendants of the Lost Tribes of Israel has persisted for a long time amongst Pashtuns themselves and Israeli academics in the last few decades.

    Agriculture/Animal Husbandry In a World Judaism is the Dominant Religion?

    I was thinking about how agriculture impacts everything from population growth to local environments to global warming... which made me think of this: Given that Judaism has a bunch of dietary taboos (most famous being "no pork!" & "no shellfish!" but there are others) how would the world &...
  13. What if all Jews eventually adopt Esperanto as a native tongue since it was created by a Jew

    As a Jewish American, I was just curious about this nearly impossible alternate reality since I'd wonder if Jews would embrace it and, you know, its creator was literally a Jew. I thought of this concept since the hotel where the Yiddish Police Man's Union begins has Esperanto signs. Anyway, I...

  20. WI: WW2 Never Happens, Does Israel Still Exist?

    With a POD of no earlier than 1917 (right after Britain signs the Balfour Declaration, signifying a desire to create a Jewish state in Palestine) how plausible would it be for a TL to take place where WW2 never happens and Israel also exists? Obviously in this No WW2 timeline there is no...
