When History Comes Knocking at Your Door - Rabbi Moshe Sachs - Part 1

Hillel’s aphorism - from the first century BCE - “If I do not act for myself, who will? If, however, I am only for myself, what am I? And if not now, when?”, is at the core of the actions, beliefs and preachings of one very special human being - Rabbi Moshe Binyamin (Buddy) Sachs - the Jewish Forrest Gump.

From Okinawa to Jerusalem under the British Mandate; from Birmingham, Alabama, to Washington, D.C.; and from St. Louis Park to a final settlement in Jerusalem - Rabbi Sachs participated in many of the 20th century's most important events.

The two-part special will allow us to witness one man's response to the calling of humanity, and also to witness the way he forged a path for others to follow.
