NLS Salon Special: Exodus 1947 – did my father turn the ship back? with Rabbi Roderick Young
17th November 2021 @ 7:00 pm
The New London Salon is a weekly space in which one of the New London clergy invites a guest of interest to hold a public conversation, followed by a chance to take questions.
This week we will be joined by New London Synagogue member, Rabbi Roderick Young will will be telling us about his father’s fascinating story, one of true bravery and heroism in 1947.
“My father was an RAF pilot. From 1946 to 1948 he was stationed in Malta and his job was to patrol the Mediterranean Sea looking for Jews to send to the camps on Cyprus. I learned this while studying to be a rabbi in Jerusalem in 1995. And it was in Jerusalem that I met Ada, a survivor of my father’s patrols. This is my father and Ada’s story.”
