On Sept. 14, 1979, two hikers discovered human remains off the steep trails near Multnomah Falls. They found a partial skeleton, eyeglasses, a leather jacket, hiking boots and a baseball cap printed with the letters NT.
Based on the bones and hair found at the scene, investigators determined the body likely belonged to a man, between 20 and 35 years old, with a thick, curly beard. A news brief that ran in The Oregonian noted that the remains “had been exposed to the elements for quite some time.”

(Tribune News Service) On Sept. 14, 1979, two hikers discovered human remains off the steep trails near Multnomah Falls. They found a partial skeleton, eyeglasses, a leather jacket, hiking boots and a baseball cap printed with the letters NT. Based on the bones and hair found at the scene, investigators determined the body likely belonged to a man, between 20 and 35 years old, with a thick, curly beard. A news brief that ran in The Oregonian noted that the remains “had been exposed to the elements for quite some time.” Police sent the skull and mandible to the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, D.C., for an anthropological exam, which concluded (based on skull measurements and the fact that it was found in Oregon) that the person who died was likely African American. The Smithsonian provided a line art drawing of what he may have looked like.
The 5 Towns Jewish Times

Rabbi Fabian Schonfeld, of blessed memory, reached the pinnacle of rabbinical success on so many levels. He was the model pulpit rabbi. He was a major Torah scholar and posek. A snapshot of him can be found in an interview he did with Jewish Action in 2008. The following is an excerpt of his: âBasically, the changes came about with siyatta dâShamaya (help from above). Itâs the natural way of Torah to inspire people, to cause them to rethink what life is all about.â
âA rabbiâs job has also changed tremendously; (he is no longer) somebody who (just) answers occasional questions about Yaâaleh Vâyavo, Retzeih, and Al Haânissim. Today, the rabbi has to be a qualified psychiatrist, psychologist, and, above all, social worker â which is really what Moshe Rabbeinu was.â
