Individual lectures:
Rabbi Alter Safrin
Fox - An unsung hero of Jewish history, this young man was
single-handedly responsible for saving the writings of the Rogatchover Gaon. The
amazing tale of Divine Providence against the grim backdrop of Stalinist Russia
only goes to prove that truth is stranger than fiction.
Hans
Goslar - Hans Goslar became a baal teshuva decades before the kiruv
movement in pre-war Germany! A government official in the Weimar Republic, his
was a lone voice of warning. With a look at the events that transformed him and
the hardships he faced, Rabbi Wein portrays one Jew whose life epitomized the
fate of his people.
Rabbi Mordechai Lipa Teomin - Rabbi
Mordecai Lipa Teomim was both typical and atypical of the Jews of Galicia.
Atypical because he was a self-taught genius - a Torah scholar and Chasid who
wrote and spoke a more literary Polish than the non-Jewish gentry. But the fate
he suffered at the mere beginnings of his life in the rabbinate are so typical
that his life story is a microcosm of history. A self-educated genius, Rabbi
Mordecai Lipa Teomim flabbergasted everybody with his apparent contradictions.
He was a Chasid who wrote and spoke a more literary Polish than the non-Jewish
gentry. Like so many Holocaust victims, his life ended too prematurely for him
to have left a lasting mark on Jewish history, but Rabbi Wein's portrayal will
leave no doubt that had he lived, he would certainly have made one.
