About Me
- Name: Joels W.
- Location: United States
I am an independent research historian and genealogist and currently working on my first book that will explore the Sephardic origin of many Eastern European Jews. I hope to correspond on this blog with like minded individuals and learn more about the subjects being discussed as well as impart some of my own knowledge to others. Please be considerate and give proper credits when reproducing anything from this site. Thank you.

I give up. Who?
Hint:
Very influential .leader of a group I always post about.
This is none other than Seraya Shapshal, the leader of the Karaites. A most unfairly maligned personality from the Shoah years, he, in fact, saved the lives of Rabbanite Jews.
He was also respected by Rabbanite Jews who learned secular studies under him back in Vilna. A letter in his archive contains correspondence with Rabbanite Jews who even referred to him as "mori verabbi", literally my teacher and rabbi.
