To my parents, Earl and Anna Sherman, may they rest in peace, who made my first seders such beautiful and memorable experiences; and to my friends Charles Little, Dominic Martello, and Richard Schwarzenberger, who have enriched my life; and to all my brothers and sisters, both human and animal, who are not yet free, I dedicate this book.

O.S.

For my nieces, Dara and Jaclyn Sharon
