Comment: The best citations RE notability are books translated from Hebrew into English. Citation 3 for example has a chapter devoted to Mr. Mokady's story and upbringing. I can provide PDFs of the book pages to the reviewing editor by email. Please see COI disclosure on Talk. The English version of the page was previously deleted as Wikipedia purged content from a user that was blocked for unrelated political disputes on Wikipedia.
