Op-Ed: Yungelait: Don’t be Intimidated. It’s your Calling!

by Yosef Katzman

We are all tired from all the wars. We are disenchanted by the strife. The animosity has taken the better of us. To paraphrase a Yungerman: “my house is in Crown Heights, my shul is in Crown heights, but I am not part of Crown Heights.”
