Essas may be more notorious for his staunch zionism and chronic mania for dissidentism (he successfully created himself an [questionable] image of a relentless soviet-fighter and manage to capitalize on that image in more then one way), same goes for Branover (plus he has more clout with people with scientific background). I have never heard of Yosef Mendelevich, so I can't speak of him, but I should've heard of him if he was someone who matters.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13084425.post-80849800919138816282007-11-13T04:22:00.000-05:002007-11-13T04:22:00.000-05:00Excuse me, if he was famous he would have been kno...Excuse me, if he was famous he would have been known by EVERYONE.<BR/><BR/>Why was Prof Branover known by everyone?<BR/><BR/>Why Was Eliyahu Essas known by everyone?<BR/><BR/>Why was Yosef Mendelevitch known by everyone?<BR/><BR/>R.

Yitzchok Zilber was an unknown in America till a few weeks ago few rich guys decided to post some ads in the Haredi papers for a fund-raising dinner for an effort that is evidently already well-funded, so why they needed the dinner, and the silly comic book "story book biography" (pure narishkeiten) to waste money is also a puzzle.<BR/><BR/>Any explanations? <BR/><BR/>I am sure that many people are at a loss to explain the fuss by them and by you, after you already pointed out that he was first mekarevd by Chabad (Mazel Tov and Yasher Koach!) and that Chabad should get some credit. Nu, so is this a shock? This is something that happpens all the time in kiruv, that one person or group puts in all the efforts and koiches and is matzliach, and then another group gets all the credit in the end. <BR/><BR/>Even Adam HaRishon was a kofi toiv, it's in the Chumash right there "in the beginning", so what else is new?<BR/><BR/>So what gives?Izakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08409269542017584769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13084425.post-43769818281302622392007-11-11T21:47:00.000-05:002007-11-11T21:47:00.000-05:00r' hirshl,a dank aykh zeyer far ayer tirkhe un tza...r' hirshl,<BR/>a dank aykh zeyer far ayer tirkhe un tzayt vos ir hot arayngelegt ibertsudrukn mayne bamerkungen.<BR/>ir zayt gerekht az in etlekhe erter es zaynen faran feler in der gramatik un dos glaykhn ( velkhe ikh hob bamerkt nor nokhdem vos zey zaynen dershinen gevorn afn ekran). <BR/>di sibe iz a poshete- ikh hob fordiktirt mayne verter tzu a talmid maynem vos farshteyt in kompyuteray. bikhlal, ven men shraybt un kuk nit iber, pleytas hakulmus treft zakh ofter in drukn vi in shraybn.
