Story Sanz Klausenburg Rebbe in Auschwitz - And Beyond

I am not going to debate whether he was justified in turning down the treif or not. It is a very moving clip regardless.

The nekudah that dejected me the most was how our generation missed the boat of heroism that the Rebbe zy"a displayed after the War rebuilding the She'eris HaPleitah.

Transitioning from Tisha B'Av: Chacham Adif Me'Navi

The end of Eichah and the transition from Churban to Nechamah.
Given at Cong. Anshei Palisades at the end of Tisha B'Av 5782/2022.

Kinnos 5782

Kinnos
at Cong. Anshei Palisades. Tisha b'Av 5782/2022.

Much of the presentation was based on Rabbi Soloveitchik zt"l's presentation on Tisha b'Av 5740/1980 in Boston, at which I was zocheh to be present.

The Jerusalem Talmud: Complete Edition (Studia Judaica): Guggenheimer, Heinrich W.: 9783110687972: Amazon.com: Books



I didn't know until a few minutes ago that he wrote a vast work on the Yerushalmi! I was at what I think was his first siyum on Yerushalmi back in the 70s at the Young Israel of West Hempstead and it was an inspiration for me ever since!

The Jerusalem Talmud: Complete Edition (Studia Judaica): Guggenheimer, Heinrich W.: 9783110687972: Amazon.com: Books

I see his notes are available at
and hope to incorporate some of them in my commentary on the Yerushalmi.
