The Dewey Stone Story: From Exodus to Independence

You will recall that last week, I posted a story about the new documentary: The Dewey Stone Story: From Exodus to Independence.

I am pleased to be able to share with you - courtesy of Dewey's great nephew, a link to an online version of the video, and the password to watch it (it's private).

The link is embedded above. The password is deweymovie

The movie is about 42 minutes long.

Enjoy!

Video: Machal volunteers answered the call of history

Here's a video about the volunteers who helped Israel during the period in which the State was established. They were known as Machal (Mitnadvei Chutz LaAretz - volunteers from abroad).

Let's go to the videotape (Hat Tip: The Muqata).

How many of you knew that the President of Yeshiva University was a Machal volunteer?

I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004.
