DNephew: Tuvia Mordechai (5)DNeighbor: Sarah Bracha Lewinsky (64)Beginning Year: 1932
Old Country: Poland
New Country: Israel (pre-nation days)After spending two more years in their new home, the family is very happy with their choice to be here instead of in Poland. While they do miss their family, they don't miss the antisemitic vibes given off by the Poles or the harsh cold winters. Shani and Tuvia send letters to their dad whenever they can, but it is often months before they receive anything back. This makes them sad, but Chani and Gavri are just glad that he, like them, is safe in a non-antisemitic place. Not too long ago Chani got promoted, she now works as a head nurse in the emergency room. Gavri has also gotten a better job at a different bank and works with investments. The extra money they make, combined, was enough to pay for a larger apartment in a better part of town. Before they left, though, they realized that they could not leave Sarah, their babysitter and neighbor, behind. They were all she had, since her children had decided to go to France and her husband had died. So the Solomons decided to ask her to come live with them, since now they would have ample room.Their new home has a small yard, four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen, living room, and a room that is not currently being used.The timing of the move was perfect, as right after they settled in Chani discovered she was pregnant with her second child. Everyone was overjoyed, except for Boaz who had little notion of what actually was taking place. Now, when Chani and Gavri go to work Sarah cares for the children. She sends the older two off to school with some older kids from across the street and tends to the younger two until Chani comes home.
