Rabbi Israel Dresner was the most arrested and jailed rabbi during the Civil Rights Movement and one of Dr. King’s most trusted allies in the Jewish community.  Learn more about him and his work with Dr. King in the five minute video below from the documentary-in-progress “The Rabbi and The Reverend” but, spoiler alert, Avi begins each presentation with this video so, if you’d rather be surprised, then wait, and check out what The New York Times and Washington Post had to say about Rabbi Dresner’s extraordinary life.
