It’s been such a busy week at Foobooz (a record number of posts the last couple of days) that we didn’t even get a chance to read the profile of Michael Solomonov in the New York Times till just now. It details how a memorial dinner after his brother’s death while on duty for the Israeli Army led him to Zahav. It’s a good read. And now that it’s almost the weekend maybe, like us, you’ll actually have time to check it out.
