Bracha Peli, publisher of the encyclopedia, later told of an author who approached her one day and threatened to commit suicide if he was not included: "Even though his standing in the Hebrew literature was not of great importance, I did not take any chances and included him as an entry."
Bracha Peli, encyklopædiens udgiver, fortalte senere om en forfatter, som kom til hende en dag og truede med at begå selvmord, hvis han ikke blev omtalt: "Selv om hans position i hebræisk litteratur ikke var særligt vigtig, tog jeg ingen chancer og optog ham som et opslag."
