1) Prof. Moshe Arens at Shdema
Professor Moshe Arens will be giving a lecture in Shdema, G-d willing, this coming Friday,November 15th at 9:00am.
The lecture is in Hebrew with simultaneous translation into English.
Prof. Moshe Arens served as the Minister of Defense and the Foreign Minister of the State of Israel, as well as the Israeli Ambassador to Washington. Prof. Arens received the Israel Defense Prize for his contributions to defence developments.
In recent years he has dedicated his time to the study of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.
His book, “Flags Over the Warsaw Ghetto”, was written to draw the public’s attention, as well as the attention of future generations, to the part played by the members of the ŻZW (Żydowski Związek Wojskowy, the Polish Jewish Military Union, formed by the Beitar movement) in the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.The part played by the members of the ŻZW in the Uprising has been obscured, and Prof. Arens is correcting a historical injustice.
As mentioned above, the lecture will be simultaneously translated to English. Tell all English speakers! A morning not to be missed!
