THE SHOSHANI RIDDLE

He was a brilliant scholar, fluent in thirty languages and knowledgeable in physics and philosophy, yet lived homeless, traveled anonymously, and appeared like a bum. He was the secret master of Nobel Prize Winner Elie Wiesel, of the great French philosopher Emmanuel Levinas and of many other prominent thinkers. They only knew him by his nickname “Shoshani”.
