Chabad House Of Hendon Melavah Malka

Rabbi Yosef Mendelevich:

At age twenty-two, he participated in an attempt to hijack a plane from Russia, to the West, an act designed to raise awareness about the desperate plight of Soviet Jews. He was arrested before the plane ever left the ground and served twelve years in the Soviet gulag.
This is the story of one man’s resistance against tyranny, and his daily struggle to retain his Jewishness and his humanity in a system built to extinguish both. This is a testament to the strength of the human soul and an inspiration to us all.
