Item Description:

Jan Christiaan Smuts was the 2nd Prime Minister of South Africa and a Field Marshal for the British in the 2nd World War. Although a non-Jew, his positive views on Zionism and the Jewish People in general compelled the leaders of the State of Israel to honor him with a street in his name in the capital city of Jerusalem. In this enlightening lecture, Rabbi Wein traces the background of Smuts along with the history of the nation of South Africa where he rose to prominence.
