I thought some of you might like to see my wife Katya's Israeli family. Four generations! There are two sisters, Lida and Tanya, who are Katya's second cousins. The little kids are all Lida's grandchildren. Katya and her parents left the former USSR in 1979. It was dangerous for the cousins still under Soviet rule to receive letters from abroad, so they lost touch. Lida and Tanya emigrated to Israel in the early 1990s with their families and parents. Recently we reconnected with them. That reconnection took us to Israel this November.
