I should add that that the correct spelling of his name is Ophee. His publishing company is named Editions Orphee, resulting in eternal confusion He hated that! RIP Sent from my iPhone On Nov 9, 2017, at 9:57 AM, [1]terli...@aol.com wrote: Hi All, I have not seen

May I say that I was lucky enough to make his acquaintance. He was a generous man. Aharon Polak was his father (author of Al Hastumot Bamizmor, a commentary on the psalms), and Matanya's family name actually is a compound of his father's initials, as he pointed out to me. He was a pilot of the

[LUTE] Re: Matanya Orphee

Matanya's opinions very often differed from my own. I remained a close friend because I didn't personally care that they did or that his statement of such was occasionally "colorful." I was fortunate to play a small part in his publishing efforts (as occasional proofreader), and I found him
