In my tiny effort to contribute to the history of the Ben Tovim family, I add my favorite photo.

The only person i recognize is Ezi’s grandmother, Dvora Elka Ben Tovim. She’s standing on the left. The other women resemble her and I seem to remember they were all cousins, living in Hebron at the beginning of the century. Since she was born in 1883, it’s likely that this picture was taken around 1897.

The past is so much more relaxing than the present – I had some implants today and not only can’t move my head, but just watching the news gives me a headache.
