In the Eye of the Storm: A Rabbi’s Visit to the 52 Hostages in Iran
A talk with Rabbi Hirshel Jaffe
October 16, 2024, 3-4pm, Judaica Suite, second floor Smathers Library
In November 1979, 52 Americans were captured and held hostage at the U.S. Embassy in Teheran by Iranian militants. Three months later, the Iranian revolutionaries invited a humanitarian delegation to visit Iran. Rabbi Hirshel Jaffe was one of the 50 American delegates chosen to undertake this momentous eleven-day mission. Join us to hear about his experiences and for an engaging discussion on resilience and faith. Read more about the humanitarian mission here.
