Anyone who has doubts that this country is abusing and terrorizing undocumented immigrant workers should read an essay by Erik Camayd-Freixas, a professor and Spanish-language court interpreter who witnessed the aftermath of a huge immigration workplace raid at a meatpacking plant in Iowa.

The essay chillingly describes what Dr. Camayd-Freixas saw and heard as he translated for some of the nearly 400 undocumented workers who were seized by federal agents at the Agriprocessors kosher plant in Postville in May.

Seen here with their teachers, students of Tel Aviv's Kolel Tiferet Zekanim Levi Yitzchak ñ a Chabad-Lubavitch yeshiva for retirees ñ are all in their 70s, 80s and 90s.

For Chaim Pyekrash, focusing on Torah for a few hours a day was just what he needed after a long career in journalism. Born in Tiberias, Israel, and raised in Pardes Chana, the 76-year-old came to Tel Aviv's Kolel Tiferet Zekanim Levi Yitzchak, a morning yeshiva for retired men, after 50 years spent as a reporter for the daily Hazofe newspaper.
