Rise and Shine -- today is your bris!
 |
| Say what?! |
Benjamin was named after his Great Aunt Susan (Hebrew name - Blooma). Susan, Grandma Candy's older sister spent much of her life living in Israel. She had two children, cousins Orli and Amir, and lived a beautiful life. She was a strong woman, who went through a heart transplant. Naming Benjamin after her is our way of honoring such a wonderful woman. May Benji grow to be as thoughtful, caring, and giving as she once was.
