The above photo was taken last week when Mr. Sol Werdiger, Chairman of Agudath Israel of America’s Board of Trustees, and Rabbi Aaron Kotler, President and CEO of Beth Medrash Govoha, presented a shofar to Ambassador Kanji Yamanouchi, Consul General of Japan in New York, in appreciation of the heroism of Japanese diplomats during World War II. The actions of these diplomats saved countless Jewish lives in the midst of the Holocaust.
