Bat Ye'or introduction 5-27-10 by Jerry Gordon New English review

This video is an introduction by Jerry Gordon a Senior editor at the New English Review of eminent scholar and author Bat Ye'or who appeared with her husband David Littman at Cong. Ahavath Torah in Stoughton, Massachusetts on May 27th, 2010. Her appearance at Cong. Ahavath Torah was organized by the synagogue's spiritual leader and close friend of Mr. Gordon, Rabbi Jonathan Hausman. In this brief video Mr. Gordon describes his "discovery" of Bat Ye'or's early book, The Dhimmi, while browsing through a Judaica section of a Barnes & Noble bookstore in Westport, Connecticut in 1984. Fast forward to 2002 when Mr. Gordon and others at Congregation Beth El in Fairfield, Connecticut hosted a presentation by Bat Ye'or. The topic was what should Bat Ye'or talk about. Mr. Gordon indicated that the suggestion was to discuss the islamization of Europe highlighted in a then National Review on-line article by that title. Subsequently, Bat Ye'or wrote an accliamed book on that subject, Eurabia; the Euro-Arab Axis. Mr. Gordon is now a resident in retirement on the Emerald Coast in Northwest Florida.
