[Avodah] The Vilna Gaon?s Theorem ? Fact or Urban Legend? (Rafi Hecht)

[Joel Schnur]

The story is that his uncle was a storekeeper-a kramer(Yiddish)-hence the
legend of it being his last name. He was Reb Eliyahu, HaGaon, HeChosid,
Rashkebehag, etc., but no last name.

 

If anyone is interested, I have a email blast list on many items dealing
with the Vilna Gaon and also on dikDuk. Email me offline, if you care to be
put on it.
