THIS WEEK'S PICTURE
16th January 2021

Thanks to cousin Jonty Levy for sending me this picture of my father and his brother Joe (and wife Ethel) with their cousin Sam (and wife  Maisie). Maisie and Sam lived in London where Sam was a doctor practising in renowned Harley Street. My father Hayman and his brothers - especially Joe - were very close to their cousin Sam and saw each other fairly regularly either in England or in South Africa.
I only met Sam and Maisie a few times - once Doreen and I visited them in London. Fern, my Dad, Doreen and I (see picture) also went to London to the wedding of  Sam and Maisie's daughter Susan (who now lives in Nazareth Israel and with whom we keep up contact.)

(See Hershovitz/Levy Tree)

• Both Doreen and I have received our second Covid vaccinations. Praise is really due for the efficient way the vaccines are being delivered in Israel. Health insurance through one of the four official "sick funds" is compulsory in Israel which makes contact between medical authorities and patients extremely easy. We received messages giving us place, date and time and duly reported  at the local football stadium (ample parking space) where booths had been set up with equipment, computers and of course, nurses. We swiped our medical cards, received  a room number and queue number and within 10 minutes both of us had received the vaccines and were seated in the recovery area for 15 minutes where we received certificates attesting to the vaccinations.
• Lockdown still continues and will probably be extended - we bought some puzzles online but are really struggling with one at the moment. We are contemplating smuggling granddaughter Daniel to come to help us!
• Trout fried in butter is a  popular dish, but Doreen prepared trout grilled on the barbecue. Just as delicious and far healthier. See her recipe here.
  
• Thanks to Nessie Schank in Stockholm I have added more information to the Schank branch of the family tree which is updated here.
