Notes
I am greatly beholden to Arthur Kiron for his research assistance and especially for scouring the Silver microfilms at a time they were beyond my reach and to Ayalah Goren‐Kadman for her research help at several critical junctures. I want to thank Judah Rubinstein, archivist, of Cleveland, Ohio, and Dr. Rafael Medoff who responded to my inquiries. I benefited from a close reading of an early version of this paper by William B. Goldfarb of Tel Aviv who shared with me his first‐hand knowledge of facets of Silver's career.
