My mother traveled to Israel in 1973 and connected with her 2nd cousins forming lasting bonds that she kept up her entire life.
It’s 2024 now, my mother’s 2nd cousins had children and my mother had me. Now, I’m here connecting with my 3rd cousins – continuing these generational bonds. My cousin and his partner have 3 beautiful children. We spent the evening playing all sorts of games, telling jokes, and making plans for me to come again. I visited my cousin’s husband’s film production studio where he makes documentaries and TV series focusing on family relationships. We obviously have this in common and are making plans for a collaboration. When we return home, his TV series is on at 9:30pm.
After dinner, we head to the street demonstrations a few blocks away where the protesters block traffic and demand for the Ministry of Defense to put an end to the war – a war that could have long ended by now, prevented countless loss of life, and brought hostages home. Here I began some interviews on my phone.
