I am pleased to present you with a selection of downloadable audio lectures that I have presented over the course of the years. These are based on family history, Yizkor (Memorial) book translations, as well as religious themes. All but the most recent were transfered to mp3 from the original casette tape recordings, so the quality may not be perfect. In some cases, the introductory remarks are less clear than the main body of the lecture, once I start speaking. Any feedback is appreciated.
