CAPTURING HISTORY

In honor of Israel’s 75th anniversary, Jewish Action interviewed, videoed and transcribed the firsthand testimonies of those who witnessed the miraculous birth of the Jewish state in 1948. Interviewees include Rabbanit Miriam Hauer, the mother of OU Executive Vice President Rabbi Moshe Hauer; Rabbanit Puah Shteiner, author of Forever My Jerusalem; and famed historian and speaker Rabbi Berel Wein. Rabbanit Hauer’s video received more than 33,000 views, the OU’s highest-performing Instagram post since last summer.
