On November 5th, 76-year-old Rabbi Dr. Eliezer (Leon) Ehrenpreis will run his 36th New York City marathon.
Since his first 26-mile run in 1970, Ehrenpreis has never missed the marathon, despite a broken arm one year and a baby’s due date another. He plans to run again this year.
A renowned Torah scholar and mathematician, Ehrenpreis was ordained and remained an advisor on mathematic and scientific issues to Rabbi Feinstein until the famed authority on Jewish law passed away in 1986.
