Down Memory Lane

The following picture was taken in 1980, at the 70th birthday party of Dr. Israel Eldad (who appears at the lower right-hand corner):-



I am in the picture, too, along with people who, unlike me, were members of Lechi including Eliezer ben-Ami, who fashioned the handgrenades hidden in oranges for Feinstein and Barzani, Ezra "Elnakam", Danny "Beit-Hamikdash" Shohami and others.

Eldad and Medad? That is pretty cool!

And where do you think I got the inspiration for my chosen Hebraized name? It was back in 1964 and in my autobiography, someday, it will be retold.

Ezra "Elnaqam" Yakhin is a great speaker an author. I read "Elnakam" and "Yibane" and I recommend them both.

I am in the back row, second from left with, yes, the large 80s collar. Elnakam is just to my left - your right. Tuviah is below me.

I'll put up soon some pics I took at the book launching for the 4 volumes of the collected works of Shabtai Ben-Dov. (Who? did I hear you all say?)
