We both know how much you have contributed to [these books]. My modest mention in the preface [to Ruth] does not suffice to do justice to the help you gave me.
|
Ron Ghatan, formerly of URJ Press: |
Your work is thorough and your comments are focused and constructive. Your specific concerns about tone and word choice will help strengthen the final product. I appreciated it when you pointed out structural inconsistencies. . . . Candidly, I wish more editors were as thorough and attentive as you.

In a note to Stanford University Press, Moshe Rosman, editor of The Jews of Pinsk, 1506 to 1880 wrote: |
Finally, I am overwhelmed by Leslie Rubin's work. Her masterful categorization demonstrates real understanding of the book, sophisticated imagination and professional confidence. Her generous, but judicious, cross-referencing bespeaks tremendous dedication to the project and infinite patience. Her selective indexing of the footnotes is a bold and useful stroke. We are indeed fortunate to have someone with such intelligence and such professional integrity working on the book.

Raymond P. Scheindlin, Prof. of Medieval Hebrew Literature, The Jewish Theological Seminary wrote of the index to Song of the Distant Dove: |
I think you did a wonderful job, especially with the conceptual entries. Thanks for your patient and intelligent work . . .
|
Upon receiving a list of typos Leslie found in the manuscript, Professor Scheindlin added: |
Blessings on your eagle eyes. I showed this list [of errors] to [the copy editor], and she remarked, "I've met my match!" I never thought I would hear her say such a thing.
