Pnina Moed Kass was in mourning for the almost forgotten

words of the English language, eventually becoming a sort of “house mother” for a “virtual domicile – a Home for Abandoned Words”.

Joel Grossman questions this premise, and says that Halkin’s letters might not convince him, or other committed Jews living outside Israel, to immediately book passage to Israel.
