Colleagues, students and admirers of Professor Nathan Feinberg take pleasure and pride in presenting this issue of the Israel Law Review to the great Maître on his 90th birthday, as a small token of our gratitude. We respect Professor Feinberg for his vast and deep knowledge in international law in general; we admire him for his particular expertise and contributions in the study of legal problems related to the Jewish people, to the Zionist cause and to the State of Israel; and we are grateful to him for the leading role he played in the establishment of the first faculty of law in this country, at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem.

Nathan Feinberg was born in Kovno on June 6, 1895. His aptitude for learning was such that the severe numerus clausus did not prevent his admission to the Russian high school, from which he graduated with distinction in 1914. At the same time he was given a Jewish and Hebrew education privately. He then proceeded to the Faculty of Law of the University of Zurich, from which he graduated magna cum laude in 1918.
