Reva Unterman
Reva Unterman (born 1957)[1] is a columnist and author who uses the pen name Reva Mann.
Mann is the granddaughter of the former Chief Ashkenazi Rabbi of the State of Israel, Isser Yehuda Unterman, and the daughter of Morris Unterman, rabbi of the West End Marble Arch synagogue in London.
