In this round you and your siblings will decide
-Where you were born
-Where you were raised
-Where your parents live
-Where you live
-What your relationship with your parents is like
-What your relationship with your siblings is like
-What your relationship with your grandparents, cousins, aunts, uncles is like
-If you have a girlfriend/boyfriend/husband
-Who your friends are
-What your hobbies are
-Are there pets in the family
-Any medical conditions
-What parent's jobs are
-Looks
-Parent's looks
-What grade you are in/what major you are studying/what your job is
-Anything else you find relevant
Please keep in mind that you are not going to like everyone, or have a perfect relationship with everyone. Also, try and keep it somewhat realistic (for example, not everyone should get married at age 18, be a genius, and have two children, boy girl, and live in a house with a dog and a white picket fence, okay:) )
Suggestions
Each person will suggest three possible events that could happen in the future (Pregnancy, Marriage, and Divorce do not count, but rather cancer, family reunion, or marrying someone's ex)
How Tali and Eli raised their children
After the end of World War I, the Mikaelov family was fearful. Having migrated from Russia to Germany a few years before the war (for work), they bitterly regret it. After much discussion, they decided to send their older children Danyel, Avraham, Mordechai, and Chana to live in a British territory that had a growing Jewish population. Chana was the oldest of the children, just 18 at the time, but she knew that she had to keep her brothers out of trouble. Once they arrived she immediately found a place for them to say, and while it was small, it did the trick. Unfortunately for the Mikaelovs, there was violence in the territory too, and even so, the boys were a little bit annoyed when their sister told them that they must be home before dark each night. Several years passed by and things seemed to go pretty well, other than the fact that the children had no idea what happened to their parents. After five years of not knowing, they all had had enough. Chana decided to go on her own and leave the boys together, after all they were only 20, 18, and 15. She never came back. Word was that her ship sunk. Dan, Mordechai, and Avi were devastated, but knew they had to move on. They all got married and had children. They all changed their last name to Michaeli when Israel became a state.
Dan had three boys and then a daughter. Although he loved his sons very very much, his daughter was his favorite. He was so proud of her, of Talia, no matter what she did. He gave her his sister's name and would tell her stories about Chana and how many times she saved him from getting hurt.
Talia's mother, Rivka, was born in what was, at the time, Hungary. She grew up in an influental Jewish family, but after the first world war, her parents found it unsafe to stay in their country, so they started slowly taking their cash out of the bank and selling their belongings. Once they felt it safe, they took of and sailed to Israel, via a port in Italy.
Eli was born in Poland to a banking family. The family decided not to leave even after the trouble began because they didn't think much of it and they had invested far too much time and effort into the land. It turned out to be a big mistake. Eli's family of ten kids were all eventually deported to a concentration camp. Eli somehow managed to survive, along with his mother, but his father, and all but two of his siblings perished. As soon as she could, Miriam got her children out of Poland and took them to Israel, which had not yet become a state.
When Eli came to Israel, the year before independence, he moved onto Talia's street and they soon became friends. Their parents always joked that they would end up together and were delighted when they did. The duo got married when they were 22 and 23. Two years later their first child was born and 18 months later came their second. Three years after that came twins.
Eli worked in the Army and Talia taught Hebrew in many different schools.
The children were raised in Haifa. Maya loved following Danny around everywhere and he truly didn't mind having her around. They'd go knocking on doors in the apartment building everyday after school so their friends would come out in play. Weekends were only a day long and the morning was spent in synagogue and the afternoons shopping. The twins often tagged along with their older siblings, but for the main part stayed with their mother.
Maya dated many guys, but finally settled on her brother's slightly older best friend, Ben. Like her parents' parents had, her parents too joked that they would get married.

LOOKS: Balding white hair, brown eyes
Talia- born in Israel (before its statehood) with Russian and Hungarian heritage
LOOKS: Curly Gray Hair (once Golden Brown) and Dark Blue eyes

Where we were born, raised, live, and parents live
I think we should've been born in Israel and all still live there, either in our grandparents' city, but either live in a nearby small town or in the nearby mountains.

I agree that we should have been born in Israel, and live in a nearby small town near our parents' city.
We have a decent relationship with each other and our parents, but I told them I wanted to move to Paris to become an artist and we had a very big argument, and now I'm a little distant from them.
I have my father's blue eyes and my mother's black hair, though as I get older the black becomes more brown.
I have a boyfriend, though it's not very serious. His name is Gabriel Johnson, and he was born in the UK. He goes to college in Israel.
I have two close friends, Shira (f) and Tamar (m). They have been my friends since high school.
I like reading, painting, and cooking.
I have an adorable cat named Snow for her white fur.
I am in college at the same university as Gabe.

Tamar is not a guys name.
Also, it would make more sense if mom had brown hair, like her parents, right?
CARMEL
I have grandma Tali's beautiful blue eyes, curly brown hair.

Living in a town near our Grandparent's seems good, as does being born in Israel.
I don't know much about Israeli or Jewish customs so, going by the States schooling system, I'm going to say that Inbar lives with her parents still and is in Grade 11. Inbar loves learning about Ancient History and is looking to become a teacher over in the United States - which she hasn't told her parents yet.
I have the typical relationship with one's parents. They don't understand me and I just want to hang out with my friends and focus on doing what I want to do the most.
I get along pretty well with Micah and my sisters, though me being the youngest makes them think that Mom and Dad favour me sometimes.
I also get along alright with the rest of my family. Grandma and Grandpa are a little too old-fashioned for my tastes but they're still alright and the rest of them are okay too.
I have a huge group of friends, most of whom are male, but the ones I'm closest to are Elkan Schenck, Chaim Kravitz, Yishai Meyer, Bluma and Noa Hirsch, Simcha Blumenthal and Menahem Wexler. I kind of like Yishai but he already has a girlfriend.
I've got long, wavy black hair and Grandpa's kind brown eyes.
Are there pets in the family?
What parent's jobs are?

Okay. We still need to know parents' jobs...
Just changing my message a little: my friends are both female, though there is a third friend named Rotem who is male. My cat's name is Sheleg, not snow. (Sheleg means snow in Hebrew.) My hair is dark brown.

Well for Maya, maybe a Secretary or some kind of desk job and for Ben...hm...maybe a teacher?
Maya's looks: Does brown hair (maybe golden brown like her mother?) and blue eyes sound okay?
Ben's looks: What about black hair and brown eyes for him?

Those looks work.
I think that Ben should be a doctor and Maya should be a receptionist at the same hospital.
That way, Carmel, who is training to be a paramedic, will have someone to look up to.
Carmel looks a lot like her mother, with her grandma's eyes and, ironically, caramel colored hair.
At this point she still lives with Maya, Ben, and Inbar, and has a cat of her own named Yuli, because she got him in July.
Unlike her sisters, she doesn't want to leave her country, except for vacation and travel, which she'd love to do.
She's really good friends with her cousin Shoshana, even though Shoshana (whom she affectionately calls Shani) is older, and has been best friends with Eitan since she was little and began dating him at the beginning of High School. He has a sister named Avigal, who is three years younger than Carmel, but a great friend to her.

I agree with everything said so far.
Micah
As the oldest child, Micah has always felt pressured to be the best. He's also always felt responsible for his younger sisters.
He currently lives in the same city as his grandparents. Earlier, however, he attended university in the U.K. Wanting to be close to his family, Micah moved back home after college.
Micah graduated with a degree in communication. He currently works for one of the local newspapers as a copy editor.
Micah has a decent relationship with his parents, though during college he grew a bit distant with them. He talks with them on the phone at least once a week.
Micah isn't very close with his grandparents, despite living in the same city as them. A loner by nature, Micah isn't very close with much of his extended family, though he does keep in touch with his sisters regularly.
Micah doesn't have a huge group of friends, but he does have two best friends. He met Amichai Reis in college. Malachi Zimman works with Micah at the newspaper.
Micah is dating Adara Miriam Avraham, who is 24 years old. She also works for the newspaper but as a reporter. She was born and raised in the city where Micah and his grandparents live. Micah has been dating Adara for eight months now. They are in a serious, committed relationship and Micah is thinking about proposing to Adara.
Micah's hobbies include writing and reading fiction, playing the piano and cooking.
Micah has a six month old tabby cat named Gilah.
Micah takes after his father a lot, inheriting Ben's black hair and brown eyes.

Asher's GF, Shayna Prinz (aged 23) is also a reporter for the newspaper! Perhaps she and Adara are BFF's?
