Devorie-Chaim News: No sooner do we hear of the engagement of our granddaughter Devorie to Chaim then we get the news that the wedding will take place on April 7. The diamond engagement ring is on Devoris finger and the wedding dress has been chosen. Chaim's 4 year old red headed niece will be the flower girl. Chaim is the 7th of 11 children. His parents were born in the U.S. and became orthodox and moved to Israel. Just like Chaya and Tuvia. I look forward to going to the wedding and I can't wait to meet my great-granddaughter Rivka Zissel, Shira and Mottis 8 month old baby. We're happy to share this happy news. -Myra. Click for pics
