    A fictional Chanuka story that takes place right before the start of the American Revolutionary War. Except for the ficticious Jewish Mendez family, Jonas, Silas, Jasper and Casper, all the other characters are real. The theme of the story is the historical Jewish impact on Western Civilizatiion. The Hebrews have done more to civilize men than any other nation. If I were an atheist, and believed blind eternal fate, I should still believe that fate had ordained the Jews to be the most essential instrument for civilizing the nations. John Adams For more on this topic read World Perfect by Rabbi Ken Spiro. Would like to thank  Rifky Saks. playing Mrs Mendez Tiffy Saks playing Miriam Mendez Moshe Fox playing young Ezra Gabi and Elisha  Shick playing Rebecca and Levi Shmuel Eliezer Bistritz playing teen Ezra Eli Hertz playing Lt Col Smith and Captain Leslie

    THE CZAR AND THE SOLDIER

    Dmitry found favor in the eyes of the feared and dreaded Czar Nicholas I. He was brave, well-liked, and most importantly, a quick-witted thinker. He was being trained in the Czar's most secret elite service. The Czar was ready to promote Dmitry, but something was discovered in the files that was going to change everything for everyone. Military service was made compulsory for Jews in Russia in 1827, the age for the draft being established as between 12 and 25 years. Some were as young as 8. The objective of the Russian authorities was to alienate the cantonist children from their own people and religion.
