«Allow me to explain. I am named after my great-grandfather, Shmuel Aryeh Poplack. For some reason, however, my father did not like the name Samuel, the corresponding English name for Shmuel. A sports fan and a bit of an athlete himself, my father instead decided to name me Stanley in honor of Stan Musial.»
Rabbi Sh'muel Goldin, Rabbi in Englewood, NJ and President of the RCA.
