the Jewish 100

busy reading "the Jewish 100" - a ranking of the most influential Jews of all time by Michael Shapiro.

the Jewish 100 is fascinating reading as it gives a mixture of old biblical figures and new modern days people.

however, it's amazing out of the 100 people in the Jewish 100 how many passed away when they were young in their 40's. Makes me realise I need to live each day to the full!

And many of the people in "the Jewish 100" only became famous or well known after they passed away.

Anyway, Michael Shapiro has written an amazing book - i'm really enjoying it. i'm on number 38 at the moment - about to start reading about Leo Szilard.
