In an extremely powerful and timely message before Pesach, Rabbi Yosef Mendelevitch spoke to Junior High School students at YCQ on Wednesday, April 3. He blew them away with his incredible story of m’sirus nefesh.

Rabbi Mendelevitch detailed the risks and sacrifices he made to keep his Jewish identity and commitment to Torah alive while being imprisoned in the Soviet Union. After his talk concluded, the Eighth Grade had a special opportunity to participate in a moving question and answer session.
