Rabbi Pini Dunner travels down the side roads and into cul-de-sacs of the Jewish yesteryear with the help of exhaustive research – sharing countless anecdotes and previously unrevealed details.
This first episode of “Exploring Jewish History” is titled “Rogues, Rascals, and Rapscallions”, and looks at characters from traditional Jewish society whose personal lives did not quite match up to the norms of the world they were a part of.
In Part 1 Rabbi Dunner offers a revealing glimpse into the life of the early twentieth-century Orthodox rabbi of Zanesville OH, and the sad secret that he took with him to his grave.
