About the Author:


I grew up in White Plains, New York. Our family attended Temple Beth
Abraham in Tarrytown, New York, of which they have been members since 1958
(I was born in 1956).

I graduated from Hackley School in 1974, and received my B.A. (with a
Special Major in Religion and the Philosophy of Science) from Swarthmore
College in 1979.

In 1981, I founded the Root and Branch Association, Ltd. I made aliyah to
Israel with my wife and our two girls in April, 1992, where we live in
Givat Chananiya (Abu Tor), Jerusalem.

I have been a member of the Foreign Press Association (F.P.A.) in Israel
since 1992. Please see the Awards and Citations section of the F.P.A.
website ("2010 - Congratulations to the following members", last paragraph
starting "Congratulations to Lowell Gallin on the publication of his first
book..."):
