ELEVEN!
BS"D
How could I have left Mordecai Richler off my list of heroes? I cried when I read Rex Murphy's farewell to him, written the day Richler died. You can watch it in RealTime as well...

Netivat Sofrut: diary of a Soferet
Adventures of a female sofer learning to heal the world by doing Holy Work...writing a Sefer Torah
נחזיר את השכינה למקומה בצייון ובתבל כלה
"Let us restore the Divine In-Dwelling to Her Place in Zion & infuse Her spirit throughout the whole inhabited world."
So wherever we are, let us bring the Peace of G@d's Presence.
About Me
- Name: Soferet
- Location: Vancouver/London, British Columbia/UK, Canada
SCRIBAL EVANGELIST As the only living certified Soferet (סופרת - female Jewish ritual scribe) & the first woman to practice sofrut (creation of sacred Hebrew texts) in over 200 years, I feel an obligation to blog about my experiences of The Work. I am also currently researching the foundation of a lost tradtion of women practicing this holy craft. For more on the services I provide, please see Soferet.com; Sofrut Nation. I am now available to engage with students, male or female, wishing to enter into the preliminary stage of learning sofrut. You are welcome to join me on this path. "Tzedeq, tzedeq tir'dof - Justice, justice you shall pursue." Devarim/Deuteronomy 16:20.

It would be interesting to hear why they are your heroes. Just a thought!
I agree with BJ. Murphy has palled on me since his Greatest Canadian appearance, while Richler continues to fascinate. So?
