[Onur Inal]

I am pleased to send you information on a new book, entitled:

Sephardi Entrepreneurs in Jerusalem: The Valero Family, 1800-1948,

by Joseph B. Glass and Ruth Kark,

and published in Jerusalem by Gefen Publishing House (
<http://www.israelbooks.com/> http://www.israelbooks.com ).

>From the jacket: "Here is the fascinating story of one of Jerusalem's
founding families. The Valeros established the first private bank in
Israel. They owned considerable real estate in Jerusalem and its
environs, as well as properties throughout the country, many of which
they donated for the public's needs.

Members of the elite Jerusalem Sephardic community, which peaked in the
beginning of the twentieth century, the Valeros were extremely active in
public life. The book also serves as a cultural study of the life of a
family from the higher echelons of Jerusalem in the nineteenth and the
first half of the twentieth centuries."

Dr. Joseph B. Glass
