Two of the noteworthy pillars of our firm were Shaul Aloni and Dr. Meir Rosen, who passed away long ago. Shaul Aloni served as a judge at the Magistrate’s Courts as well as at the District Courts, and was a temporarily appointed judge at the Supreme Court of Israel. Shaul Aloni was highly revered for his acute mind, and for his sharp and efficient approach; his rulings were always extraordinarily precise. Shaul had a great love for the Hebrew language, a true Renaissance man, who loved books and culture as well as good food and wine, which he often shared with friends at the office.
