Abie Nathan was one of a relatively small number of Israelis who made a signal contribution to Israel's moral culture, which is more important than our political culture. He is one of those among us who have created one of the great characteristics of Israeli society: the possibility to be decent and to appear decent even in the face of the utmost adversity.
