Mmmmmm, I want to savour every drop. I want to save this day. 9:00 tonight dinner with the Uruguay Wolbromskis, the Netanya Wolbromskis that is.
Let me delight for a moment in the wondrous connection between Staszow, Poland, and Netanya Israel: that of Yerachmiel's children,
*Golda came to Netanya in 1930 to build Kibbutz Mitzpe Yam (Kibbutz Look-out-over-the-Sea) where they brought in refugees from boats in the dark of night, until they moved the whole kibbutz community to what's now Yad Mordecai.
*Ruchel had a store here in the 40's. Her granddaughter and family are at U of T, and visit with Mommy and Daddy in Toronto.
*Shimon went to Uruguay after surviving the war hiding in Staszow. All of his children, the gracious Yossi, Tola, and Flora, and their families, live in Netanya. And that's where we'll be dining tonight, bringing in 2011 with our mouths full of chocolate fondue with Israel's amazing red strawberries, our hearts full of gratitude.
