Item Description:

A staunch leader with firm ideals, Rabbi Moshe Yehoshua Leib Diskin was one of the backbones of the Old Yishuv of Jerusalem. Focusing on the era in which Rabbi Diskin lived, starting in Russia and later in Jerusalem, Rabbi Wein discusses the historical background of the time to give us a clear picture of the mindset of this Torah genius. As founder of the Diskin Orphan Home in Jerusalem, he can be said to be the savior of the modern Yishuv and the builder of many families that call the Holyland their home to this very day. This lecture is a truly enlightening listen - one that will give you insight into Israel of today as it was formed from the Yishuv of Old.
