In 1938, just 33 days before the Nazis invaded, Dershowitz fled the country with his family (when he was just 10 years old). On February 2, 1939, Zvi emigrated to New York along with his parents, Aaron and Ruth, and sister Lili. They settled in Brooklyn, in the Williamsburg neighborhood. There, he learned English, attended Mesivta Torah Vodaath, and became ordained as an orthodox rabbi in 1953.〔(Honoring Rabbi Zvi Dershowitz -- Hon. Brad Sherman (Extensions of Remarks - June 4, 2013) ), ''Congressional Record'', 113th Congress (2013-2014), page E781.〕 However, throughout his life, Dershowitz affiliated with the Jewish conservative movement, and to this day considers himself a conservative rabbi. As a teenager, Zvi was very involved in advocating for a Jewish state. In 1949, he spent a year studying in Jerusalem. There, he helped Jewish refugees from Yemen and other foreign nations settle in the newly established Israel. Dershowitz met his wife, Tova (z"l) while recruiting in Ithaca, New York for Camp Soleil. They married in 1953.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Zvi Dershowitz」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
