Rambam and Ramban Square Off

The Washington Post announces the weekend's upcoming area high school basketball games. Local people call in to inform them of teams and times, and they just print it in a small box at the bottom of the high school coverage. On Saturday they ran "Ramban at Hebrew Academy at 9:30."

It's actually Rambam (of Baltimore) they were referring to. How they confused a 13th century Catalan rabbi, philosopher, Kabbalist, and bibical commentator for a 12th century Catalan rabbi, philosopher, Kabbalist, and biblical commentator is somewhat comical indeed. Oh, and they also were both born in Spain and enjoy chewing on sunflower seeds. Go figure.
