Thanks
To my parents, Zharya and Rachel Aharon:
I express my deepest gratitude and admiration to you both. Your unwavering dedication to helping others has been an inspiration throughout my life. Balancing the demands of raising six remarkable children with your careers in education is truly extraordinary. You've shown me the power of compassion, and I’ve been privileged to witness the beautiful blend of science, spirituality, and empathy in your lives. Your level of selflessness is an incredibly high standard to aspire to.
To my grandfather, the late Rabbi Saadia Dahari:
Thank you for embodying the highest ideals of scholarship, perseverance, and tradition. Our time together was limited, but the quality of our discussions was exceptional. I deeply regret that we did not have more opportunities to study together.
To my high school teacher, Rabbi Yossef Shukrun:
Thank you for the countless hours you dedicated to guiding me through the world of philosophy. Your gentle smile was a constant source of comfort, and your presence always helped me find perspective.
To my fifth-grade teacher, Mrs. Michal Peretz:
Thank you for your unwavering support and understanding during a challenging time. You always believed in me, and I am truly grateful. Your encouragement to explore science through experiments inside and outside of school was instrumental in shaping who I am today. That year was pivotal in my development.
