One of the teachers was Ephraim Shach, son of the famous Rabbi Elazar Shach head of the Ponevezh Yeshiva. Ephraim was in the ETZEL (his life story is important in itself) and at the time a Shaliach in NY. He told me about the parade. I went as an observer and saw the Betar contingent, some of whom I knew. I paraded during the following few years. That year I also participated in what I believe was the first demonstration demanding the release of the Jews of the Soviet UnionAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7674370443234632145.post-9255358717943237402017-06-06T22:17:34.691+03:002017-06-06T22:17:34.691+03:00From a note from Chuck:
