Weekly Freebies: Book Give-Away III

Print Friendly, PDF & Email

Last week’s winner of R. Aharon Rakeffet’s scholarly memoirs, From Washington Avenue to Washington Street, prefers to keep his name private but correctly answered that R. Rakeffet’s first job in Israel was as a staff editor of Encyclopedia Judaica.

This week, the final of three weeks, the trivia question is:

Who is Rav Rakeffet’s only living rebbe?

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.
