Dear Friends,
Last week's visit up to NJ / NY was very uplifting. We spent Shabbos in a hotel in NJ with Rabbi Chaim's grandmother and her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchild (RC's great-niece). It was wonderful to sit and talk and catch up and see everyone for a weekend. 
Chanie's 30th birthday was Sunday so it was a special treat to visit the Ohel on her birthday and see her parents in Brooklyn as well before we returned to Houston!
Mazel tov to Sarcalem and Belaynesh Zevadia Adigeh (Former Vice Consul General of Israel) upon the birth of TWIN BOYS! May they grow to give much nachas to their family and entire nation of Israel!
