Netanyahus Father-in-Law Publishes Second Book About His Yeshiva Years

VIN News Jerusalem - Much of the Netanyahu clan came together recently to celebrate the publication of a book by Binyamin Netanyahus father-in-law, Shmuel Ben-Artzi.
After leaving the yeshiva world and Yiddishkeit as a young man, the 94-year-old author has returned to Torah and mitzvahs. Ben-Artzi, the father of Sara Netanyahu, was born in Poland in 5675 (1914) and made aliya in 5693 (1933) when Yeshivas Novardok sent him to help start its Eretz Yisroel branch in Bnei Brak. A year later he left the yeshiva and went to work in agriculture, believing the task of building the state of Israel to be a foremost priority. Later he joined the Irgun and the Hagana, eventually working as a teacher in secular schools. Two years after releasing a book about his recollections as a student at Yeshivas Novardok, Ben-Artzi has now published a second book called Bein Yotzro Leyitzro, currently available only in Hebrew, which traces his early years in Eretz Yisroel and delves into the inner turmoil of the yeshiva bochurs of his generation
