Abstract
We show how to incorporate the lepton sector in a supersymmetric theory of flavor based on the discrete flavor group . Assuming that all possible nonrenormalizable operators are generated at the Planck scale, we show that the transformation properties of the leptons and of the flavor-symmetry breaking fields are uniquely determined. We then demonstrate that the model has a viable phenomenology and makes one very striking prediction: the nucleon decays predominantly to where is a {\em first} generation lepton. We show that the modes , , and occur at comparable rates, and could well be discovered simultaneously at the SuperKamiokande experiment.
