I keep thinking about how when you are part of the first wave of a new field, the best frame of mind you can have is to hope you will be surpassed — because it means people have built on what you started. And if you’re very good, you helped folks get to the place where they can do that work & shine.

The body of Oded Lifshitz, an octogenarian kibbutz member, will be returned to Israel tomorrow. “He was an activist for the Palestinians all his life” says his wife Yocheved, herself a returned hostage, “and his reward from them was abduction and death in agony”.
