We first met in Israel on Seminar Plus, but we didn’t keep in touch after the summer. Matt continued on as a counselor at Wisconsin, and Aviva returned to Palmer.

We both went to graduate school in Philadelphia and were so excited when we found each other again.

We married in 2009 and live in Brooklyn. We love having Shabbat dinners with our neighbors from Palmer, Berkshires, Wisconsin and the Poconos.
