On the last day of Chanukah, there was a Torah class at the Jerusalem Plaza Hotel, the latest in a series of monthly shiurim usually given by Rav Steinsaltz. 200 attended.
The shiur is organized by R’ Tzvi Hirsh Ruderman. This month’s shiur coincided with the shloshim of the Shluchim to Mumbai HY”D.
Professor Velvl Green spoke and a video of the Holtzbergs was shown. People were deeply affected by both the video and the stories of R’ Green. The M.C. was our spirited musical Rabbi, Tuvia Bolton, who told stories and sang.
One woman who attended said she came to get relief from some aggresive missionaries who have been bombarding her of late. She almost decided against coming, but finally decided to attend. After the event, she said, “Prof. Green really spoke to me. I now have a renewed energy and stronger sense of purpose.”
