His writings are ultra-dense but address minority rights. Elizer holds the record in receiving bat kol or praise from other Rabbis during the 20th Century.

On them, as you<BR/>know, they depict four different Rabbis, I was wondering if you could<BR/>tell me why those four rabbis were chosen over the many others who could<BR/>have been used. Not that there is anything wrong with these four, but<BR/>to be honest, I know a bit about rabbis, and one I them I never even<BR/>heard of, and a second I heard of but have no idea why. Also, most of<BR/>their names are misspelled. I was hoping you can shed light on this for<BR/>me. Thank you very much.<BR/><BR/>A satisfied, but curious customer.<BR/><BR/>--Karl Czemer<BR/><BR/>PS, I would be very happy to review future Jewish (or any other)<BR/>products of yours to veryify the spellings.<BR/><BR/>http://philosophicalkarl.blogspot.com/2005/11/four-cups.html<BR/><BR/><B>This is what they sent back (fairly promptly, I might add):</B><BR/><BR/>Dear Karl,<BR/><BR/>Thank you for your inquiry!<BR/><BR/>Our Heroes of the Torah are based on real rabbis but are not necessarily<BR/>factual, this glassware pattern is just a humorous tribute to many<BR/>rabbis.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for shopping with us!<BR/><BR/>Sincerely,<BR/>Fishs Eddykarlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13511491414073382506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3564064.post-1132636933275590792005-11-22T00:22:00.000-05:002005-11-22T00:22:00.000-05:00Perhaps we can have a picture of the officiating r...Perhaps we can have a picture of the officiating rabbi depicted on the glasses we smash under the chupah.
