On January 3rd, 2010, WebYeshiva hosted a unique discussion live online between WebYeshiva’s Rosh Yeshiva, Rabbi Chaim Brovender, and Dore Gold, the former Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations. The culmination of a three part mini series dealing with the halachot and Jewish traditions of Pidyon Shevuyim - the mitzva to redeem Jewish captives - this session brought to light some of the challenges and issues relevant today in applying this mitzva in the context of the modern State of Israel.

The full recording of this session is available below:
 

The recordings from the first two sessions are also available on the WebYeshiva website, here, under the section heading “Class Resources and Information”.

NB: If you were not previously registered for the series, in order to access the recordings you must first click on “Add this shiur” at the top of the page, and then download the WebEx player by clicking on the link directly below the heading “Class Resources and Information”.
