The Secret to Jewish Survival

Give Me Yavneh and Its Sages



How can we feel connected to the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple when these tragedies happened thousands of years ago? The answer may lie in understanding what still links us to those past events and how, against all odds, exile didn’t put an end to the Jewish people. Join Rabbi Fohrman as he searches for the secret to Jewish continuity in the story of the fall of Jerusalem itself, in a place far from the Temple – in the sands of Yavneh.
