Listen now
Description
Rabbi Shmuly Avtzon is a Mashpia in the Yeshiva of 770 and director of Sichos In English, an organization founded by his late father and my uncle, Rabbi Yonah Avtzon a"h. In this episode, we compare and contrast our childhood experience and recollection of 27 Adar and 3 Tammuz, him growing up in the thick of the Rebbe's neighborhood of Crown Heights and me growing up across the world on shlichus in Hong Kong. We discuss the shockwaves these events had on our childhood, and whether or not they can be traced to earlier events in Lubavitch history and specifically the history of Dor Hashvii. ______ As a sidetone, I recently worked with Shmuly on a documentary about SIE's new release of Likkutei Sichos in English.

Bentzi Avtzon is a filmmaker who specializes in telling the stories of thoughtful and heartfelt organizations.
