The amazing story of Susi Doring Preston, a modern Ger Tzedek, has recently been the subject of various reports in Israeli media, particularly a story on Ynet (https://www.ynet.co.il/articles/0,7340,L-5505162,00.html).
In preparation for kabolas haTorah on Shavuos, the Mashgiach HaRav Don Segal spoke in the main beis medrash of Mir Yeshiva in Jerusalem.
