ISRAEL  ~  AUTUMN 2007


It all began in 1986
when Deena attended the Bat Mitzvah
of a Chevra from Camp Yavneh

Sandi had a Bat Mitzvah Twin
and Deena wanted one too

Today
Ari often says:
We don't make friends
We grow family

But we had no idea
when Deena began her three year saga
how precious Rachel and her family would become to us

This trip was to attend the wedding of
Rachel's little sister Lizzi and Liron
to visit with relatives
on both my mother and dad's sides
and to play with the friends
who are truly family
