And I just realized that you leave where we used to rent 10 years ago. We lived at the Bar Efrat's apartment from 2002-2004. We passed by your apartment on the way back from school yesterday but didn't want to knock on the door and surprise you. 

As I said, we are here this weekend as well as Sunday. If you have a free hour give us a call. 050-6203648.

Hi Noa,

 

I still remember you. You haven't been Larchmont for long enough for me to forget.

 

We now live in Bet Ha Kerem also – 24 Hechalutz. We just returned from a month in the US last night. We're not yet on Israel time. My daughter, Yahli, will also be starting first grade next week at David Yellin. I don't know whether we'll be able to get together before then, but certainly thereafter.  My daughter only spoke English until age 4 and a half, but then after a year or so at David Yellin she decided that she only wanted to speak Hebrew and her English deteriorated thereafter. Now, after a month in the US, her English seems to have come back. There will be one or two other kids in their class that are also English speakers, however I imagine that Ella will pick up Hebrew in the coming months although the transition may be difficult. My son, whose English is very good, will be starting 4th grade at Yeffe Nof.

 

I'll try to give you a call over the weekend.

 

Howard

Dear Howard,



It's a small world. I hope you still remember me from Geneva (2004-2008, mission of Israel to the UN). I just got back to Israel after 4 years in NY. Ella, my daughter, will start first grade in David Yalin, and I emailed the school and asked to get a contact list for her class so I can set some play dates for her so when she gets to school on September 1 she will know some kids. 



I was trying to check if there are any kids or parents with Anglo names since Ella's Hebrew is very bad, and I saw your name. I double checked with Hila Tene that you are you and it's not another Howard Poliner, but she confirmed that it's you. 



I think that Ella would prefer to meet little girls but if your son speaks English (and I assume he is) she should be happy to meet him too. 



We live on 8 Hagay street and my mobile number is 050-6203648. If you are around this week we should try to meet and have the kids play. 



Best

Noa Furman
