We met at the Camp Ramah Berkshires Memorial Day singles weekend, 1998. For me, Ted, it was love at first sight. At Oneg Shabbat, I saw her across the room. Her presence, her joy reached me, and I said to myself, “That’s the kind of woman I want to marry!”

For Judy, it took a few more months of courtship before she said, “That’s the kind of man I want to marry!” We have now passed our 8th wedding anniversary, have a girl, Korina, 6, a boy, Daniel, 4, and our dog, Bashert, 11 (or as Judy tells people, her first Bashert!).
