Talmidim, askanim, and those suddenly cast into the limelight look at last year’s photos and share what it felt like to live through, and make, history

It was a year that generals fell. Klal Yisrael is entering 5783 bereft of the Sar HaTorah, Rav Chaim Kanievsky, Chacham Shalom Cohen, and the Gaavad of Yerushalayim, among other luminaries.

And after social distancing for much of 5781, 5782 was also the year that Klal Yisrael joined together: No less than five times were stadiums in the New York area filled to capacity with the members of our nation devoting themselves to a higher calling.

With the close of 5782, talmidim, askanim, and those suddenly cast into the limelight look at last year’s photos and share what it felt like to live through, and make, history.
