Best of the best – Top 35 reads of 2016
ANT KATZ
Other issues trailing the Bobroffs and that feature multiple times on the list, in order of frequency, were the arrest, extradition and trial of Rabbi Eliezer Berland; men refusing their wives Gets; women singing at Jewish communal events – the so-called Kol Isha matter; and the perennial favourite read – the Sunday Times’ Rich Lists from 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016.
As the annual publication of the SA Rich List indicates, a number of the stories on this list were not published during 2016. The list refers to those stories READ during 2016.
This anomaly occurs due to users searching or following links we may highlight which look back to previous years. As the website enjoys a very high level of search engine optimisation, often the reading of a story is the result of someone, somewhere, researching something on Google.
RIGHT: Jews on the Rich List – all four annual stories feature on users’ favourite reads of 2016
