Yeshiva celebrates birthday of Rabbi Shem Tov
http://www.jwire.com.au/?p=4349
Fortunately J-Wire didn't write that his first name was "Baal"...
(We look forward to their report on 7 Adar regarding the yahrzeit of Rabbi Rabeinu.)
If you look at the article, it's clear the problem is with the editor who wrote the headline, rather than the article itself.
ReplyDeleteWho owns J-wire?
Seems to be a one-man show> A Harry Benjamin - who, as we commented some time ago, sends out a daily email - 7 days a week - including Shabbat. (He did not send any out on RosH Hashana.)
ReplyDeleteHe obviously knows very little about (the history of) chasidus. While he did not write that 'Rabbi Shem Tov' piece, it sure should have gone through a decent sub-edit.
