Doreen & Eitan's homepage

We have just learned of the passing earlier today of Eddie Nemenoff. Eddie was the shaliah (emissary) of the Israel Habonim youth movement sent to Durban in the 1960's. Although by this time we were less active in Habonim we became firm friends with Eddie and his wife Yael. We sometimes babysat Dorit and Amir (Orna was born later). Doreen and I were not yet married and had problems with our parents' reactions to our relationship. Eddie was of invaluable help in calming things down. In addition, Eddie and I both loved bridge and we sometimes played together at the local club - not quite the accepted activity for a "pioneer" youth movement . We continued our contact with him at Kibbutz Kfar Hanasi when we came to Israel and I often saw Eddie at various bridge tournaments. Ten years ago, together with many former Durban Habonim members, we celebrated his 80th birthday. We last saw him 5 years ago when he was ill and had lost the use of his vocal chords, and he communicated with us by writing on a pad. We extend our condolences to Dorit, Amir and Orna and families.
Daughter Vered was coming for lunch and Doreen planned a hamburger (both meat and vegetarian) meal. I suggested making an onion loaf but Doreen wasn't keen - she thought I meant an onion bread. When she realized I meant an Onion Loaf she decided to try daughter-in-law Limor's recipe, which was a great success. Click here for the recipe.
Traditionally Jews placed stones, not flowers, on the graves of their dear ones. (See the last scene of Schindler's List). But flowers are now regularly placed too and are an accepted medium of respect. I have heard that flowers, which grow, wither and die are symbolic of life, while stones, which last forever, are symbolic of our memories. Whatever the reason - if there is one - it is now very common to see both flowers and stones adorning graves. The Segoli grandchildren visited the grave of their grandmother Yael (see last week's issue) and placed flowers and stones, which they had appropiately decorated, on her grave. A picture of the grave has been added to Yael's Memorial site.
For a few years I have represented the European Bridge League (EBL) on the Executive Council of the World Bridge Federation (WBF). I have now decided to resign from this position, mainly for personal reasons. I will still be a member of some WBF sub-committees, such as the Laws Committee and Rules and Regulations Committee, and remain on the Executive Council of the EBL. The official announcement and the letter of appreciation from the President of the WBF can be seen here.
