Yom HaShoah - Leil Shishi

We learned some fascinating, yet harrowing Teshuvos (responsa) posed to Rav Ephraim Oshry in the Kovno Ghetto during the Shoah. Mr Leventhall introduced the learning through a brief historical background and insights, following which students discussed and debated the scenarios including:

1. May one endanger oneself for the sake of learning Torah and Davening?
2. May one risk one’s life to join the partisans?
3. May one save oneself with a Baptismal Certificate?
4. Can a child wear Tefillin before his Bar Mitzva?
