AI Summary:

"The meeting focused on the legacy of Rabbi Avraham Eliyahu Kaplan, highlighting his contributions to Jewish thought and his influence on both Lithuanian and German Jewry. We discussed Rabbi Kaplan's early life, his famous song Shak'ah Chamah, and his philosophical writings, including his views on Mussar and Hasidism. Rabbi Kaplan's ability to bridge the worlds of traditional Jewish learning and modern intellectualism was emphasized. The meeting also included a tribute to Rabbi Kaplan's impact on his students and his enduring relevance. A recording of a song composed by Rabbi Kaplan was played, and a visit to his gravesite in Berlin was mentioned."

We included my brother-in-law, Avy Schreiber's moving renditions of Shak'ah Chamah and Shir HaMa'alos, a special presentation by the Rosh Yeshiva of the Yeshiva of Greater Washington, Rabbi Aharon Lopiansky shlita, custom recorded for the event, and a clip of an aliyah la'kever in Berlin led by Yehuda Geberer of Jewish History Soundbites, https://feed.podbean.com/jsoundbites/feed.xml
