Mourning the Passing of Herman Wouk
An old-fashioned modern Jew
He was brilliant, unique
Weaving the strands of tradition
Into best-selling novels sleek
A Navy man, aboard a WW2 mine-sweep
Mr. Wouk loved letters, his country, and
Talmudic wisdom, from which his works drew deep
Herman Wouk, the prolific novelist and
lifelong student of the Talmud, has
passed on to his Maker today, at the
tender age of 103. May he rest in peace...
