Beth Jacob was a hub of activity during the weekend of Yom Yerushalayim as we were privileged to host Ambassador Yehuda Avner, Israeli diplomat and author of The Prime Ministers, an account of his time as an adviser to Israel’s highest leaders. Generously sponsored by Carrol & Jack Fenigstein, each of the Ambassador’s talks were attended by hundreds of people who walked away transformed by the inspiring experience. Few will soon forget the racuous ovation that shook a packed Shapell sanctuary on Shabbat morning or the peals of laughter coupled with the tears of reflection as our community was enthralled by one of the ultimate insiders in Israel’s history.
