I had the zchus to see Menachem Begin twice—both times in New York.
The first was in 1962, when he was still in the opposition. He came to Crown Heights and spoke on a Friday night in a large shul called Choivevei Torah. I was just a child, but I still remember the overflowing crowds and his Dvar Torah on Parshas Shemos. He spoke in both Yiddish and English, and the atmosphere was electric.
The second time was in 1978, when he was already Prime Minister and spoke at the Hilton.
This video is truly worthwhile. It portrays a great man in a deeply personal way—and it depicts a true “Son of Klall Yisrael.”
