For over 700 years, Jews were forbidden from entering the Cave of the
Patriarchs in Hebron (where our forefathers are buried) and would pray from
outside on the building’s steps. All this changed when one brave Rabbi drove to
the city during the Six Day War, believing that Israeli soldiers had preceded
him, after the triumphant liberation of Jerusalem the day before. Rabbi General
Shlomo Goren entered the city of 40,000 Arabs who simply
surrendered to him! The Rabbi went straight to the Cave of the Patriarchs, and
shot the lock off the door, opening it once and for all for the Jewish people
and all faiths. Hear more gripping stories of a formidable man, who fought for
the soul of the Holy Land.
