Both supplements include additional letters in the series from IB to Robert Silvers (pictured below), the long-time editor of The New York Review of Books; these new letters were first published in ‘The Israel Letters’, Jewish Quarterly no. 244, May 2021, 67–87.
Also included in the supplement to Affirming is a letter to the Japanese historian, Nobutoshi Hagihara, 23 May 1977, in which IB reflects on his visit to Japan that April, with his wife Aline.
Many thanks, as ever, to Henry Hardy, for making the supplements possible.
