Eitan Katz – Forever Grateful
A Message From Eitan Katz,
A few months ago I had the z’chus of leading the davening throughout shabbos at Congregation Ohab Tzedek in Manhattan. After mussaf, an elderly man (although with a youthful bounce to his step) by the name of Rene Slotkin approached me, gave me a yasher koach and wished me a gut shabbos…
After speaking about how he was a survivor of Auschwitz, he then told me the incredible story of how the actual numbers on his arm served as testimony that Hashem was with him throughout his time in the death camp.
Be Inspired… watch below as Mr. Slotkin tell his story, along with a nigun I humbly composed inspired by this tale of true faith in Hashem.
