To Meira, Daniel and Thalia

On this day we want to share with you our heartfelt sorrow about the loss of our dear friend of over half a century Professor Mishael Zedek. His classmates in the 1944 graduating class of the Geulah High School in Tel Aviv, then Palestine, remember his scholarly dedication, kindly disposition, and his quiet, but dedicated, commeraderie. May his memory serve to instill in you and in all of us the necessary fortitude required for the continued mission to which we have been dedicated since our school days: the pursuit of justice and the restoration of zion.

Please receive our deepest sympathy and love in this time of your grieving and may Mishael's memory serve as a blessing to his immediate family and its decendents.
