Shlomo Shamir, Haaretz Correspondent: List of 50 most influential U.S. rabbis raises eyebrows
Talkback
Title: "Most Influential" among whom? Jews?, Non-Jews? Name: Dr. L. Brnd City: San Diego State: USA
Given the heavy emphasis on name recognition and media presence ("are they known to Hollywod studio heads?"), I suspect that what these three are actually compiling is a list of "the 50 most influential living Americans who also happen to be Rabbis". This is not the same as the 50 Most Influential Rabbis....as Rabbis. That would make more sense, given the list that resulted. Kind of a silly exercise. I mean, who really gives a crap what the CEO of Sony Productions thinks on the subject, either way.
