About the Author
Daniel Shapiro, Associate Director of the Harvard Negotiation Project, teaches negotiation at Harvard Law School and in the psychiatry department at Harvard Medical School/McLean Hospital.
From Booklist
Each man or woman on Shapiro's list of the most influential Jews of all time had a special influence on humankind, changing the way we live and think. A few touched the souls and minds of Jews only but are important to the world because of their defining presence on Jewish identity. Starting with Moses, the prophet and lawgiver who led the Israelites out of Egypt, Shapiro ranks and examines them in their order of influence. Second is Jesus, followed by physicist Albert Einstein; then Sigmund Freud, the founder of psychoanalysis, and Abraham, the founding patriarch of the Jews. The list includes such diverse figures as composer Gustav Mahler; Maimonides, the greatest Jewish scholar of the Middle Ages; Rashi, the world's foremost Talmudist; artist Mark Rothko; and actress Sarah Bernhardt. In compiling any list, the author risks being criticized for what the reader believes to be mistaken omissions or inclusions. Despite Shapiro's engaging and cogent list, the omission of Holocaust survivor and Nobel Peace Prize-winner Elie Wiesel is incomprehensible. Unfathomable, too, is the omission of Nobel Prize winners Isaac Bashevis Singer and Saul Bellow, as well as writer I. L. Peretz, one of the major personalities in modern Jewish history and the formative influence on modern Yiddish literature. George Cohen
