How many countries have you been to in your lifetime? Three, maybe 4? Author Ben Frank can proudly state that he has traveled to 88 countries, visiting many Chabad Houses in the process, and in each one he checks out the Jewish community and how they have survived and thrived.
Ben Frank has been traveling since the early 1950's. In the 60 years of his travels, he has visited places such as India, Burma, Tahiti, Cuba, Israel and many more. 
In this first-person account, Mr. Frank tells stories from his travels, interwoven with anecdotes about the Jews in various communities and details from his own family's personal history. 
Get ready to hear about Jewish life in Communist Cuba, a small community in the island of Tahiti, and a Yiddish city in the heart of Russian Siberia!

This lecture was delivered at the 7th annual National Jewish Retreat. For more information and to register for the next retreat, visit: Jretreat.com.
