The driver pilots the eight-wheel-drive vehicle from the rear body. He has at his disposal...

"How can you as a rabbi say such things?" After 40 minutes of interruptions, Levin could take no more. Without waiting for the last segment of his speech to be translated into English, he walked off the stage and out of the hall...
