Rabbi Mordechai Weberman tells when in the Bronx he heard for the first time about Zionism at 4 years old, slowly and hard realizing the big difference of the Zionist with his religious community of Judaism even if dressed the same way. And also he remembers how kids were educated in the 40's, the protest in the 60's of Rabbi Kaplan against the Israel chief rabbi in the auditorium where he was supposed to be honored. About Rabbi Levine, spiritual mentoring his father in the early 30's, who protested against the Torah institution in the Bronx because they taught the modern hebrew language, the official language of the Zionist that Judaism refused. Rabbi Levine's determination in saying no to this language education, even if it was said it was not let the kids become burglars in the street. Levine final answer to that problem: "burglars can always repent!"
