JEM's video last week in their "Living Torah" video series brought to mind the whole controversy that swirled around Chief Rabbi Levin's visit in 1968. He was seen as a paid mouthpiece by some self-appointed activists and was even shouted down on occasion. I'm not sure what those activists expected of him, living in that tyrannical society that he did... We attach some very fascinating clips and articles about his visit, some of which include a speech at Hunter College in NYC where said students interrupted his speech, an appearance with Rav Pinchos Teitz on his weekly radio show, his yechidus with the Lubavitcher Rebbe, and an article in Ami magazine about the visit. One thing is for sure, this Chazzan that they had in Moscow was first-class, top of the line! Due to the constraints that these "box" clips put on some browsers we have brought one on the page and 3 links to the box.com website.
