Mazal Tov to Nadav and Reut, to Rachel and Yehudah, and to Judy,

Great News to welcome in 2018.  Davnob is delighted to hear the news that Judy is a Savta Raba, the first Noble Great-Grandmother of the Davnob generation. Mazal Tov to Nadav and Reut, to Rachel and Yehudah, and of course to Judy.  The Savta Raba writes: 

I'm overjoyed to let you know that Rachel and Yehudah became grandparents today when a baby daughter was born in Tel Aviv to their eldest son Nadav and his wife Reut!  This makes me a great-grandma - or Savta Raba!  I 'll send you a photo as soon as I have one containing Reut - she's still sleeping it off!

With much love and every good wish for a fabulous 2018!

A Good Read - Kolymsky Heights'

BBC listeners from as far away as Natanya in Israel have contacted DAVNOB to let us know that Lionel's book 'Kolymsky Heights' was the subject of a glowing review on Radio Four's 'A Good Read' - in which Harriette Gilbert invites guests to discuss their favorite books. In this installment Toby Young  suggested 'Kolymsky Heights', and discussed it with Sarah Vine.  The full programme can be downloaded from the BBC iPlayer, (and the discussion will soon be available on this page).
