The opening of this shiur, in Jewish History Soundbites’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

[Music] a date which will live in [Music] infamy. Both of those projects initiatives got off the ground because of the greed Olympic team members slain in West Germany. to get by Americ who were killed were Americans who had come to learn. I save 1 million Jewish children who were made to be [Music] cut. Who ever heard such beautiful [Music] words and this episode which I'll get to in a second. First of all, I have to explain my absence. So, thank God I was with a wonderful shul from Cedarhurst, a great group of guys, we did um Jewish history in France. Um a little bit in Germany also, but that's more common. This is uh not as common as I would like to be. Um maybe I'll even do an episode, a tour bite episode about some of the highlights we saw there. Very interesting Jewish history in France. um ballet tis rashi raenuam mets of course I did an entire episode about strawber and even in Paris itself besides for good food there was some great Jewish history as well so um either way but that and all other Jewish history trips around Europe and beyond we can uh work out. So, there's a lot of great content coming up for the podcast now that I'm back and even on future trips this summer. I will try to pre-record and have them ready so that we don't have to miss any weeks anymore. Um, hopefully I'll I'll do a few generic episodes in the next couple of weeks and then hopefully we'll have a nice summer series on some good Jewish history topic. Another point that I want to mention before we get into today's
