Description

After the liberation of the Kovno ghetto, religious life revived, and Shuls and Batei Medrash filled once again. A kapo who had cooperated with the Nazis and had caused suffering to his fellow Jews approached Rav Oshry and declared that he regretted what he had done and had done Teshuva for his wrongdoings. Could he serve as a Shaliach Tzibbur, or did his offenses disqualify him from the right to represent a Tzibbur of Jews in Tefilla to Hashem?
