"There are men, in all ages, who mean to exercise power usefully; but who mean to exercise it. They mean to govern well; but they mean to govern. They promise to be kind masters; but they mean to be masters." Daniel Webster

RIP to the Wrestling Rabbi

Rafael Halperin was a noted Torah scholar and founder of Israel's largest optometry chain. He was also, briefly, a pro wrestling star in the 1950s in the Northeast United States. But with all due respect to the rabbi, the claims that he didn't do worked matches is hooey. There's video of him out there on Youtube, and he appears to have been pretty talented.
