Yahrtzeit of Alfred Dreyfus (1859 - 1935), a French army officer who was falsely arrested and charged with treason. Dreyfus was the victim of a frame-up; falsified documents were exposed in a famous open letter entitled J'accuse! (I Accuse!). This scandal, which came to be known as the Dreyfus Affair, bitterly divided French society for many years. Dreyfus was stripped of his rank and sentenced to life imprisonment on Devil's Island. (Five years later, he was released and later pardoned.) Theodor Herzl, a Jewish journalist reporting on the trial, was so affected by the anti-Semitism and injustice, that he committed his life to vigorously pursuing the cause of Zionism.

Judging
Great point on Judging others. As we are all students with differing backgrounds, how many times must we be reminded of the thoughtlessness in our judgment of others. It really hits a deep chord when we catch ourselves doing so, but in that awareness we grow and refrain from doing it further. Wonderful video. Thanks Aish, David
