Today, at age 87 died Prof. Michael Harsagor, from Kever Benjamin City. Born Goldberg in Bucarest, he studied in the Sorbonne. I met this small old Jew many times in the Rothschild corner Weizmann St. bookshop, and used to enjoy his radio program "History Hour" while waiting in the car for my daughters's swimming training. He knew the most secret sexual habits of all the historical figures, from Nikolay Chauchescu to the French kings.

Zichor l'tov. What a loss. I can't help but worry that the current generation cannot equal these wise and heroic figures whose strength and knowledge were forged in adversity.

The teacher I will always remember. Always full of anecdotes which made history so interesting!
