ring of makeup, she
was known as The
Vamp.

1970), was a Polish-
born author whose first
names were Shmuel
Yosef. His works

Several weeks ago "Tell Me
Why" challenged readers to
identiy 20 figures from the Jew-
ish past and present. Congratu-
lations to Randy Farb of Hint
and Audra Lachman of Farming-
ton Hills, who identified each
and every one. So who are the
elusive 20, you're asking?
Sally Priesand (1946-) was the
first woman to be ordained a
rabbi in 1972. A graduate of
Hebrew Union College-Jewish
Institute of Religion, Rabbi Priesand
I received Reform ordination 50
years after the Central Conference
of American Rabbis asserted,
"Women cannot justly be denied
the privilege of ordination."
Michael Tilson Thomas
(1944-) is a musical conductor,
named head of the Buffalo Phil-
harmonic Orchestra when he
was only 29.
Benjamin Cardozo (1870-
1938) was a justice of the U.S.
Supreme Court and a leading
legal scholar whose works
included Nature of the Judicial
Process.
Samuel Gompers
(1850-1924), born in
London, is the father of the
labor movement in the United
States.
Lisa Loeb (1968-) is a rock
musician whose glasses harken
back to the 1950s. (Why does
she love them, why, why, why?)
