Very special interview & story I have some family connections in SA which makes it more pertinent, but a beauiful example of how the Rebbe encourages us to do our utmost, usually with excellent results

Only an ex-SA could appreciate how truly amazing it is that this could happen. Thanks so much for putting this on your website. A wonderful story. Talk about bringing the light (of Chanukkah) into the darkest times.
