Our Family Story

Once upon a time, in a far away land, there lived a young girl. Her dream was to visit a beautiful land that her mother and father said was golden.

One day, a big grey bird swept her up on his back, spread his wings and flew with her to this land. It was called the Holy Land.

She loved this land. She travelled from North to South, East to West. She saw the blue sea, lakes both sweet and salty and the Golden City.

One day, a tall, handsome young man crossed her path.

She looked at him and immediately fell in love. He found her to be special and loved her too.

They became very close but were only together for a short time. The youg girl had to go back to her home on her big grey bird.

The young girl and the young man did not see each other for many, many months but did not lose the love they had for each other.

The young girl flew again on her bird to visit her love. The young man then flew on a different bird to visit his love.

They decided to marry and fly back to live in the Golden Holy Land.

Their love was so grand but there was something missing…until one day, their first son was born. They named him Gilad, after the home of the prophet. Gilad was a treasure for them.

A few years later, they wanted a brother and a friend for Gilad and their second son was born. They named him Noam because that is what Gilad wanted. Noam was a joy for them.

It took a few more years and they wanted to complete their family and their third son was born. They named him Shabbi after his beloved uncle. Shabbi was the jewel that made their family whole.

They were a happy, loving family. They played together, laughed together and learned from each other. They often flew on the big grey bird to visit the far away land of their mother.

With time, the three sons grew to be men.

The first son found love. Corinne. His love was beautiful, sweet and kind. The two married.

With time, they decided that they wanted a child to share with them in their love.

Their first child was born. She was the sweetest, most beautiful baby girl ever born. They named her Mia, which means mine, because of their deep love for her. Mia is like a beautiful flower.

Soon after, their second child was born. He was the most handsome and precious baby boy ever. They named him Dylan, after the poet who warmed their hearts, because of their deep love for him. Dylan is like sunshine.

The young new family flew to the far, far away land of Gilad’s mother to live their lives together.

The second son found love. Maayan. She, too, is beautiful sweet and kind. The two married. They flew on the grey bird to many wonderful places. They built their lives together.

The third son will soon find his love. He will find his perfect match. He, too, is living a life of meaning and purpose.

The family is in the middle of their journey together, full of love for each other and thankful for the family they are and will become.

There is no end to our story. We will continue to grow and with time add others to our family and our story. We will welcome them with love and joy.
