As we mark the anniversary of the Osirak operation, we remember the man who stunned the world in 1981,&nbsp;a leader who joined strong action with communion to the past, who could order an ingenious operation and then pray to God for&nbsp;its success, a leader who joined faith and political leadership, a leader whose legacy looms so large today.&nbsp;&nbsp; Looking back at his legacy in a new light, one of Israel's most venerated but complex and controversial leaders receives an incisive portrait. Menachem Begin was a proud pillar of the State of Israel, fiercely devoted to the Jewish people. A proud yet scarred leader, haunted by the Holocaust and decades of war, former Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin struggled to balance history with heroism to make peace with his greatest enemy and cement a legacy long misunderstood. Introduction by Rabbi Meir SoloveichikIn partnership with Congregation Shearith Israel.In memory of Ambassador Yehuda Avner whose opus The Prime Ministers inspired the production.
