The 25,000-volume library of novelist Herman Wouk’s grandfather, the late Rabbi Menahem Leib Levin, was presented yesterday to the Supreme Religious Center, the Heichal Shlomo, at a ceremony attended by rabbis and writers.
Mrs. Esther Wouk, the novelist’s mother, made the presentation. She also donated 1,000 pounds to the Free Loan Fund named after Rabbi Levin.
