Just before he took the final steps to view what lay before him, his deputy, Stanley Greigg, took his arm and said, "Keep your sense of humor." Good advice, and O'Brien's face crinkled.

Sefen's first factory, built in 1952 on the torrid Jordan Valley floor south of the Sea of Galilee, converted waste from a kibbutz plywood factory into insulator board. When Israel's building boom began in 1953, Sefen switched to making construction board. Now Sefen is a four-factory operation that last year earned a profit of $725,000 on revenues of over $11 million. It produces adhesives, scientific radiation...
