With the arrival in the US of R. Aharon Rakeffet’s scholarly memoirs, From Washington Avenue to Washington Street (available in hardcover and e-book), I am able to offer Hirhurim readers an opportunity to obtain a free copy (thanks to the publishers, Gefen and OU Press). Over the next three weeks, I will be asking Rakeffet trivia and each week one fortunate responder with the correct answer will receive a free copy. This week’s trivia question is:
Who suggested the topic for Rav Rakeffet’s doctoral dissertation?
E-mail your answer to this address with the subject “Rakeffet Trivia”. On Tuesday evening (EDT), I will randomly select one of the correct respondents to receive a free copy. Tune back next Saturday night for another opportunity to win.
I have been trying to submit my answer to the trivia question for two days now, but your e-mail address does not want to accept my submission !?!
So, who won?
The answer is Dr. Bernard Lander and the first winner is Moshe Friedler. Congratulations and thank you to the many people who sent in answers.
