Shmuley Boteach’s website has had a rough beginning. As I previously reported, his request for adulatory comments on his blog backfired. Now, I have noticed that his self-congratulatory biography contains a glaring, humorous error.
Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, named by Talkers Magazine as one of the hundred most important radio hosts in America, is a nationally syndicated talk show host, the international best-selling author of 14 books, and an acclaimed syndicated columnist. A winner of the London Times highly prestigious ìPreacher of the Yearî award, Rabbi Shmuley has lectured and appeared in print, radio, and TV all over the globe.
Rabbi Shmuley first came to world attention through his founding of the Oxford University L’Chaim Society, an organization of Oxford students that within three years of its founding in 1988 had become the second largest student organization in Oxfordís history. In Oxford, where Shmuley served as Rabbit to the students for eleven years, he played host to and debated some of the worldís leading thinkers, entertainers, and statesmen, including Mikhail Gorbachev, Shimon Peres, Benjamin Netanyahu, Elie Wiesel, Yitzchak Shamir, Michael Jackson, Simon Wiesenthal, Professor Stephen Hawking, Javier Perez de Cuellar, Deepak Chopra, Prof. Richard Dawkins, and Prof. Colin Blakemore, to name but a few.
