In the heart of Poland, before the ravages of World War II, an extraordinary life began for an 87-year-old man. Born to a Jewish mother, he found himself entangled in the complexities of being openly Jewish as he navigated the tumultuous times that shaped the 20th century.
The upheaval of war cast its long shadow over his life, leading to a twist in his story. Amidst the chaos of World War II, he was adopted by a Christian family and subsequently baptized.
Despite being born into a Jewish family, this individual adamantly proclaimed he was not Jewish.
Seventy-four years later, an event transpired that resonated with the essence of reclaiming his heritage. At the age of 87, this individual, who had spent the majority of his life embracing a different faith, met with Rabbi Mendel Braun who helped him Dawn Tefillin for the first time in his life with a Bar Mitzvah ceremony. A celebration, long overdue, unfolded with heartfelt warmth and joy and a Chasidic dance.
