Why Isn't He a Hero to Us?
This post is long overdue. The 2005 Nobel Prize in Economics was co-won by Robert (Yisrael) Aumann, a shomer torah and mitzvos and a talmid chacham. He has written extensively on Chazal's understanding of economic theory, and shown proficiency in both iyyun and bekius though not a Rav or a Rosh Yeshiva.
Moreover, he is an example of kiddush Hashem in the manner in which he accepted the Nobel Prize while scrupulously adhering to Shabbos, and in his speech, which was dedicated to praising Hashem for the opportunities he gave him and for his family, and even in checking his tuxedo for shatnes.
One son died in the service of Israel, and to my knowledge he has not voiced a bitter word. He gives every male grandchild a Shas at Bar Mitzvah to emphasize the primacy of Torah.
And he certainly has preserved a Jewish appearance (even sans shtreimel) in a very unwelcoming secular environment.
So I've got an eensy beensy little question. It is:
Why aren't our (chareidi) children hearing his name and accomplishments as an example and a role model???
