David A. Korn and Ambassadors Yossef Govrin and Aryeh Levin kindly read the

And finally here but firstly in our hearts: our children and grandchildren, who had
to share our time and attention with this inanimate sibling, and rewarded us with
affectionate forbearance. The book’s dedication to them is but a token of our love.
