In Those Days In This Time by Etka Gitel Schwartz

The Syro-Greek occupation of Eretz Yisrael in the days of the Chashmon-aim is brought to life in this work of historical fiction. A beautiful dramati-zation of the spiritual trials and the

battles that faced our ancestors in those days. This is much more than a short novel: each chapter has a Students’ Guide, with questions for discussion, historical information and much more. It can be a wonderful “Literature” choice for General Studies programs, or the focus of pre-Chanukah class discussion – or for all year round. Recommended for Junior and Senior High, it will facilitate talmidim focusing on some of the serious issues of hashkafa they face today.

Monsieur Your may have already shown the latest DVD production by TU’s Zechor Yemos Olam. If not, you will want to present it to your talmi-dim/os at some other occasion. The title is “Monsieur,” which refers to Rav Yonah Tiefenbrunner, z”l. “An inspiring story of courage, mesiras nefesh and kiddush Hashem.” Monsieur traces, via a combi-nation of real footage, interviews and a bit of dramatization, the captivating story of how Rav Tiefenbrunner risked his life repeatedly to care for the yesomim for whom he took charge. His venue was an orphanage he established in Belgium during the years of the War. The account traces the grave dangers facing both the children and their benefactor… as well as a number of sudden relocations that the orphanage was forced to undertake in order to keep from dan-ger’s path. Indeed this was a goal only narrowly achieved on more than one occasion. 48-minutes. Presentation includes commentary by Rabbi Moshe Tuvia Lieff, Rov of Agudas Yisroel Bais Binyomin in Brooklyn.
