Description

On the night of October 5, 2000, at the very outset of the second Intifada, Rabbi Chaim Brovender was brutally beaten at the hands of Palestinian Police and their henchmen. He was hospitalized off and on for weeks at a time over the course of the next two months. In this recording, Rabbi Brovender tells the story of his ordeal, and shares with us the lessons he learned about chesed and hoda'ah (kindness and thanksgiving), as well as reflecting on the "matzav" (situation) in the State of Israel today.
