local farmer. Immigrating to Israel in 1947, Barak received his doctorate
in law from the Hebrew University in Jerusalem in 1963. Appointed as a
justice in the Israeli Supreme Court in 1978, Barak served as President of
the Supreme Court from 1995-2006. Today, Prof. Barak is married and has
four children.

in Piotrkow Trybunalski, Poland, in 1937, into a distinguished rabbinic
family. Lau was interned along with his older brother Naphtali Lau Lavie
in the concentration camps Czestochowa and Buchenwald, where they were
liberated on April 11, 1945. Immigrating shortly thereafter to Israel, Lau
received rabbinical ordination in 1971. From 1993-2003, Rabbi Lau served
as the Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi of the State of Israel. Today, he is Chief
