Excellent. Your answers were all right, except one that was half rigt. I think you know 17, but the phrasing maybe threw you.
oh yeah must have missed that one. rav yisroel salanter I love his mussar stuff.
which one is half right? also, im sure that i know 20 but im blanking, do i get half credit for finishing it by saying "veal titosh Torat Imecha?" and more credit if I sing it?
I don't like what I just wrote "mussar stuff" its not bkovedik, sorry I meant his mussar writings, I'm very tired.
I'd have gotten, if I tried...
3 4 5 7 12 17 (Ouch)
Is 19 the Rambam?
Ok, if Bob hadn't beat me to them, I would have known these (trying to be a good sport :)
3. Yisrael Meir Kagan
11. Samson Raphael Hirsch (one of my favorites ever)
12. Yehudah Halevi (but I think that's actually disputed)
15. Herman Wouk
17. Yisrael Salanter
20. King Shlomo in Proverbs [Mishley 1:8]
Iggeres HaRamban ezzie you're right
Bob, the half was the Maggid of Dubno (8).
Nice work everyone. Anonymous got two of the remainders. What else is left? Anything?
Anyone wis to share anything about any of these and what they mean to your life - please do.
1 and 6
1. R’ Sholom Schwadron
6. R' Yosef Yovel Hurvitz
okay now everything is answered
Thanks. Nice.
Bonus question. Of the answers, there are three men who I heard speak (each on more than one occasion). Care to name them?
twersky
maybe donin and bunim, but bunim is too old so i dont know
Rav Schwadron, Rav Wolbe (and to differentiate between dead and living) Rabbi Twerski. Irving Bunim died when I was about 20. I missed that opportunity, although I know many who heard him speak.
