Good job..i thought there was going to be an all star in medicine?
There was talk of having a physician too, but there were technically difficulties in filming her and we decided that ten was a nice round number for our list. But we plan to release a new list every year!
Let’s have All Stars 2 with entrepreneurs, inventors, CEOS, artists, and musicians.
Our plan is to ask for submissions now every year and release an Orthodox Jewish All Stars list annually.
Love the Dmitriy Salita Pick. Could have also picked Yuri Foreman who has won a WBA Title.
luv it
