Tibi is married to Ilu [Mikulincer]. At the moment he has difficulty walking and doctors beliebve they can get him back on his feet again by operating on his spine. This will happen in Sydney on Monday. We wish him all the luck in the world for a successful operation.

Hi, Henry--
What a shock--I mean, a pleasant surprise! A letter and a picture of our Rachel on your blog!
(She probably didn't tell you, but she just ran a 26-mile marathon in mid-April.) The last week in April, she joined Jerry and me, her parents (Pamela and Charlie Bielitz) and our cousin, Dorothy Unger, at our timeshare in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. We had a absolutely fantastic time!


Thanks again for all your hard work at keeping everyone in touch!
Fond regards,

Hello! I thought since you helped to remind me my cousin's birthday was coming up, I'd give you some updates here- Lauren Reidenberg currently lives in San Francisco, California. Also I am graduating this month so I'll be leaving St. Louis and will at least temporarily be in Kampsville, Illinois. Maybe someone will look at it and randomly want to come visit me in the absolute middle of nowhere! Thanks again for doing this.Rachel Bielitz

Nice to hear from Leif.

I had a wee cry a while back about the effort that goes into the email postings and Leif stretched his hand across the world to help get me back on track.

Henry Shalom,

I was not active on this media for a few weeks.

Two reasons-first I had a very good trip to South of America-Argentina Peru and Brazil for a month. I recomend to do it, one of my greatest trip that I ever had. Including 3 day jungle trip, sea life and the gretest amaizing water falls Iguasu.

Some pictures attached here.

You certainly heard that Neve Deqalim with other settelments in Gush Qatif was left, and the people force to withdraw. meanwhile we stayed in hotel in Jerusalem, and two month ago we mooved to our new home in Nitzan - north to Ashqelon. very nice here, also near to the sea. It took weeks to arrange the new house.

Hope that all is well by you, by Ketty and by the children.

I will be now active again in the media.

All the best - Elazar

Nice to hear from Tommy Mikulincer who lives in Stockholm.

Looks like he has re-invented himself

Tommy writes:

Hi, here you have the new me, with a new look and also a new profession.

Four months ago I started a new task, as manager of Stockholm Chevra Kadisha and the chief administrator of Stockholm four jewish cemetaries. It is a completely new experience, that I can tell you, never the less it is the best work and position I ever had.

Keep well and regards!
