As we build our library, we would be honored to have the books that fill our Jewish home dedicated by those whom we love most deeply. Here's a taste of volumes we are excited to add to our shelves: A Dictionary of Jewish Babylonian Aramaic - Michael Sokoloff, The Mishnah - Hanoch Albec, The Koren Selihot Minhag Lita, Holy Men and Hunger Artists: Fasting and Asceticism in Rabinnic Culture - Rabbi Eliezer Diamond, Midrash P'sikta D'rav Kahana.

During our February break in Israel, we're going to the Winter Olympics in Milan, other spots in Italy, and Spain and/or Portugal!

Part of celebrating together includes supporting those around us. We would be honored if you helped us start to build a life together centered on giving to others. These are some organizations whose missions we believe in and who we try to support: 412 Food Rescue (https://412foodrescue.org), Roots/Shorashim (https://www.friendsofroots.net), Hadar (https://hadar.org), The Open Hearts Initiative (https://openheartsinitiative.org), and The National Library of Israel (https://www.nli.org.il/en)

Vered's sister Lena is designing our ketubah, and we cannot wait to display her beautiful art surrounding our commitment to one another on the walls of our future home.

Since we'll be spending the first year of our marriage together in Israel, we'll get to celebrate continuously for the entire year! We're excited to try out Israel's vast culinary scene and to visit lots of wineries all over the country.
