As part of the 2021 convention of TRADITION's publisher, the Rabbinical Council of America, Rabbanit Chana Henkin spoke about the legacy of her late husband, R. Yehuda Herzl Henkin zt"l, exploring the influences that helped him develop into a unique posek and thinker. We are grateful to the RCA for allowing us to share this recording with TRADITION's followers.
