The opening of this shiur, in Jewish History Soundbites’s own words— taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.
A date which will live in infamy. Both of those projects, initiatives got off the ground because of the girl slain in West Germany Out of the 24 who were killed were Americans who had come to learn in the covenant. I saved 1 million Jewish children who were made to be cut loose. Whoever heard such beautiful words? It is never too little. It is never too late. And it is never enough. So, looking forward to a Tisha B'Av episode and a Detroit part two and many other exciting and great topics uh following Tisha B'Av and over the summer.
