I'm pleased to announce a new contributor to the Shark Blog -- a man who was known as The Shark decades before I was -- my dad, Ira Sharkansky.
He is both an American and an Israeli, a native of Massachusetts who moved to Israel and has been professor of political science at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem since 1975. His correspondence about Israeli politics and life in Jerusalem have appeared on this blog from time to time. They will now be posted under his name and with the title "Letter from Jerusalem"

Your father's postings are generous reminders that the turmoil engages individual human lives in uncertainty, travail, and frightfull courage. Thank you for bringing his voice to this place in this time.
