Re: Leningrad synagogue Sukkot

Awestruck at how Elie went on this secret adventure to meet random Jews in the Soviet Union, report for Haaretz, and judge for himself. In the first two chapters, he does a concise and wonderful job of explaining the fear that Soviet Jews lived under and also the Jewish will to endure. Not sure how I’m just now reading this, but thankful his words have come to me now.
