| Opplysninger | Først utgitt på hebraisk 2005. - Hebrew translation published first, in 2005, under the title Mishpaḥat Ṿalero, with Kark listed as first author. "The English edition differs from the Hebrew in three respects. First, there is more detailed background information ... Second, we have incorporated a number of additions and corrections ... Third, we have incorporated new academic research ... into the discussion". - Here is the fascinating story of one of Jerusalem’s founding families. The Valeros established the first private bank in Israel. They owned considerable real estate in Jerusalem and its environs, as well as properties throughout the country, many of which they donated for the public’s needs. Members of the elite Jerusalem Sephardic community, which peaked in the beginning of the twentieth century, the Valeros were extremely active in public life. The book also serves as a cultural study of the life of a family from the higher echelons of Jerusalem in the nineteenth and the first half of the twentieth centuries.
