During the Communist era, life for RussianJews was exceptionally harsh and difficult. Theyweren't allowed to learn Torah together, nor werethey permitted to gather for any sort of religiousceremony. Those who were caught breaking the lawwere deported to Siberia. In our story, we will meet our heroes during the hardest times of the Communist era. We will marvel at their Mesirus Nefesh and stand in awe of their inner strength, as they stay true to Torah and Yiddishkeit despite the odds. Read and enjoy!
