Mazal Tov - Great news from Judy in Bet Shemesh.


Judy writes:
"I'm writing to you now because we have a new Davnob recruit to add to the tribe.  Last Sunday,  we celebrated the Brit Milah of my first great-grandson, Ori David, son of Nadav and his wife Reut.  He has an adorable older sister Halleliwho will be two on Boxing Day.  

Nadav and Reut met during their compulsory military service. Nadav is about to begin studying Electrical Engineering at Bar Ilan University and Reut is just completing a Law degree. Rachel’s daughter Yael is a dietician at Hadassah Hospital in Jerusalem, working in the oncology department. Yair, Rachel's middle son, has finished his military service and Yoav, their youngest brother was recently honoured as the most outstanding soldier in his entire platoon.

Rachel in addition to her work as an Archivist at the National Library is preparing for a PhD in aspects of Modern Jewish history and Yehudah is an officer in the Jerusalem police."

Judy has recently moved, and writes: "I recently moved away from Netanya where David and I had enjoyed our sea-front flat as a holiday home since the 90’s and where I had lived since coming to Israel on Aliyah in 2013. I am now happily savouring a new kind of lifestyle in a delightful granny flat which Rachel and Yehudah designed and had built for me on to the back of their hillside house in Bet Shemesh. Amazingly, there's even room for ALL my  numerous books. My front door opens on to a sunny patio with a solar fountain, an impressive rockery, sun umbrellas and a shapely fig tree, producing the sweetest fruit you can imagine. But don’t worry -  my telly brings me British TV so I'm not that far from reality, especially at the moment!"
