Old-Timers
I was reading an article on a very great rebbetzin, and couldn't help comparing today and her times...
Here are the most striking passages...
she was a free thinker
She was separated from her mother for a period of time and lived with a British Lord
Mrs. Rivkin met Rabbi Sholom Rivkin on a blind date in Buffalo. They were married in 1954 (5 years after).
While in Seattle, Mrs. Rivkin earned a bachelor of arts degree in English Literature from the University of Washington.
In the mid-1970s, Mrs. Rivkin earned a master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Hunter College. In addition to her responsibilities as Rebbetzin, she worked at a number of colleges, including Queens College in the department of psychological counseling.
(and of course the tons of secular names!)
