Moshav Liman 12/03/2008
 

This last weekend, I had the wonderful pleasure of traveling up to the border of Lebanon (on the Mediterranean Sea) to a village (near Acre and Nahariyya) called Moshav Liman.  I was visiting my grandma's second cousin, Clarissa Kfir and her family.  The place was beautiful.  There is a mountain separating the two countries (with a military base on the top), so you feel very safe.  Their house, or 'plantation' was built in the 70s, and is very comfortable.  Clarissa grows olives, oranges and avocados for a living, and Rueven (her husband) works in technology.  I was able to visit Inbar and her husband Gidon's new home that they are still building, and also hang out with Daniel their 5-year-old son.  Dov (27) is Clarissa and Rueven's youngest son is dating a really nice girl named Bina.  Rueven's mother was a holocaust survivor.  His father, now deceased was married with a family before the holocaust and lost everyone, then later married Rueven's mother and had to start over.  She shared their story and it was very moving.  Overall, I had a spectacular time eating, conversing, playing games, eating, looking at photos, mapping out our family trees, (did I say eating?!?!) and just enjoying my new-found-family!
