I just wasn't sure if you knew the whole story. :) I don't usually tell people who the guy actually was unless they are really willing to listen. And I admit, I probably got a bunch of things wrong or misinterpreted. I was never a practicing Jew. My Russian Jewish maternal grandparents died when I was very little and my atheist mother was happy to teach me about Judaism but the only times I've been in synagogues and temples were for some art galleries, weddings, and other such events.
