David vs Goliath: the Story of Ron Feller and Bernadotte’s posturing before the first cease-fire
David vs Goliath: the Story of Ron Feller and Bernadotte’s posturing before the first cease-fire
Dec 7, 2022
16:14
At the beginning of the War of Independence Israel was vastly outnumbered and did not had sufficient weapons to defend herself. In those initial weeks before weapons began to arrive, primarily form Czechoslovakia, it was only the daring and ingenuity of lone Israeli soldiers coupled with industrial helpings of Divine Providence that enabled Israel to hold on. Ron Feller is one such hero who single-handedly took on and defeated an entire Egyptian mechanized platoon. Swedish diplomat Count Folk Bernadotte was chosen to be the United Nations Security Council mediator in Israel’s War of Independence. Bernadotte labored to turn the cease-fire into a binding peace treaty which he figured would earn him a Nobel Peace Prize. It certainly earned him disdain.

Nov 19, 2020
37:15
Episode 13 - Vilna Gaon IV - The Gaon’s editing of Rabbinical Documents One of the other key issues we look at is how to understand the Vilna Gaon’s editing of Shas and other Rabbinic material. Why did he edit some of these documents heavily and barely touch others? How does the Vilna Gaon’s editing of Shas relate to the editing done by the other Acharonim? How would we project the Gaon to have reacted to the manuscripts we have today? We also look at the issue of editing Tanach? Was it ever done? Would anyone have the ability to do that? Rabbi Arnie Wittenstein is a well known Torah scholar, Tanach expert, and Historian. He has lectured in the Mir Yeshiva, Torat Shraga, and and many Shuls internationally. These podcasts integrate his broad knowledge of many different facets of Torah and History. Join in weekly to gain accurate & in depth knowledge of some of the most important and controversial topics in Jewish History.
