How We Fought Against

'We do what we think is right'. One group of students, a group of dreamers, took on the all-powerful Soviet Union for one very simple reason, to help their fellow Jews gain their freedom. Rabbi Avi Wiess and Glenn Richter join us this week to tell their story, how a group of students stood up against seemingly insurmountable odds for what they believed in, to lead the effort to help free Soviet Jewry.
