Escape from the Institution

During the horrendous Communist Era, when the government prohibited the Jews to keep the Torah and Mitzvos, an underground yeshiva kept on functioning in Berdichev. Chabad kept on operating many secret yeshivas in the USSR, right under the nose of the Secret Services, with the brave Chassidim often risking their lives in the process.

During the Farbrengen that took place in great secret on the occasion of the Alter Rebbe's yahrzeit... well we can't very well tell the story here. We can only tell you that the plot is a thriller, it is engaging and gripping at once.

You're welcome to leaf through the book and to live through the troubling events with the brave young students, all the way to their miraculous salvation. We hope that reading the story of those children who were ready to give up their lives for Torah will give you strength for learning Torah with more determination and for keeping mitzvos with your whole heart.
