two everlasting loves

Bob's never-ending love for Elaine and Israel developed during his trip to Israel in 1957.

Bob makes his first-ever trip to Israel and joins
his sweetheart's Hadassah tour group

This trip inspired Bob to be a lifelong advocate and fighter for Israel and the Jewish People.

Bob knocked down and beaten by NYPD protesting American pressure on Israel during the Carter years (1980's).

Life in the new State of Israel during the 1950’s was drastically different than it is today. The socioeconomic disparity between Jewish life in the United States and in Israel was vast. Yet, it was the age-old dream  and vision of building the new reconstituted Jewish State which helped overcome the awesome difficulties and lack of resources.
