Ep. 16 // “Growing Up a Chossid” with Mrs. Fradel Sudak
Description
Rebbetzin Fradel Sudak was sent on Shlichus to London sixty years ago with her late husband, Rabbi Nachman Sudak, a”h.
She is also my great aunt, and I’ve wanted for years to hear more from her about my great-grandparents, Rabbi Benzion and Esther Golda Shemtov, who also lived in London after they escaped the Soviet Union.
Over the course of several hours, I heard all kinds of stories and insights about my great-grandparents, where they came from, what drove them, scared them, inspired them, and held them together.
I learned more about where I come from, of course, but also what their dreams had been, and in that sense learned about where we are all going.
