One of those lists that usually appears near the end of the year, Newsweek magazine is looking forward and naming the rabbis they think are the top 50 now and will continue to be for the rest of 2009. The whole list is here. Have a look and see if it matches your personal favourites. Of note to the ravaj: the top woman at number 18 (chai, noch) is Ellen Weinberg Dreyfus, old friend to the ravaj and recently elevated to head of the Central Conference of American Rabbis (CCAR). I wonder how she feels about this honour?
NB the ravaj was once the only girl on the West London Under-11 Chess team that won the league. She got a medal and was very proud.
There are six women on the list this year - that's a bit more than last year, isn't it? Go Wimmin! - CJ
