Baruch Dayan Emes: Unfortunately Rabbi Wittenstein is sitting Shiva for his father until Wednesday morning (May 29) in Arzei HaBira in Jerusalem. jewishhistoryuncensored@gmail.com  In this episode, we look at how the Baal HaTanya got to Liadi. Similarly we look at why he didn’t return to his home town of Liozna?    We also start looking at the issue of why the Baal HaTanya sided with the Russians when the French invaded Russia in 1812. What was the classic Jewish attitude to such situations? What Historical precedents were there that probably influenced how the different Jewish leaders reacted?  Nach Yomi: Join R' Wittenstein’s Nach Yomi on WhatsApp. We learn a perek a day five days a week, with a nine minute shiur covering the key issues.
