My Litvaks on the Move talk took place at Claremont Shul last Sunday night.
An audience of about 80, mostly of Litvak heritage, attended the presentation.
Question time was held afterwards. Discussion centred around finding ones shtetl.
Thanks go to Rabbi Matthew Liebenberg and Steven Sherman for organising this most successful event.
