From Bokortem, Florida, this is Behind the Bima.

On this episode, the rabbis are joined by Holocaust survivor Sam Ron.

Sam discusses being reunited with fellow prisoner Jack Waxel after 79 years,

shares how he has maintained his faith in the darkness,

and explains his deep love and appreciation for the modern state of Israel.

Also, a discussion on the meaning and importance of Yomashawa and how to communicate the lessons and legacy of the Holocaust generation to young people today.

All this and more, behind the Bima.

my in-law's parents. That is my wife's

parents' parents. So in

memory of the parents of Dr. Robert and Judy Brookstein,

Aaron Halevi and Esther Goldsmith and Yisrael Nas and Achia Esther,

Survivors of Auschwitz, each of them lost a spouse and a child in the war.
