A wonderful country built on the shoulders of giants. I visited Ayalon museum while on tour with Sar-El. It gave extra meaning and context to our tiny contribution.

When I read "So the Haganah tapped directly into the British military’s own power supply" I realized this was the epitome, along with other of their ruses, of the old saying "Necessity is the mother of invention." By the way, the use of the quartz lamp to keep them looking like kibbutzniks was quite clever to throw off the British.
