ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Acknowledgements and sincere appreciation is hereby expressed to Mr. Pinchas Penna for his sustained interest and encouragement in this endeavour. This publication is dedicated to him in recognition and esteem for his many and varied acts of thoughtful kindnesses and affability to all.

The truly pious is he who devotes himself in love to the service of the Creat-r, who does not withdraw from all creation, but lives in it, with it, and for it so that he may inherit the world to come.

(compare Rabbi S. R. Hirsch
The Nineteen Letters)
