ABOUT YOUR JEWISH LIFE
Fave meal to eat together on Friday night? We are obsessed with Challah – it’s our favorite ALWAYS. We fancy ourselves on harsh critics, too!
Fave Jewish festival Festival of lights, of course!
Fave piece of Judaica in your home Yoni’s brother gave us an incredible one of kind kiddish cup from a Yemenite artist in Israel.
Fave Jewish food For Yoni, Yemenite Soup (his family owns a famous Yemenite soup restaurant in Tel Aviv) and for me, it’s hard to pick one! Bagel with pastrami lox, za’atar on pita, chicken schitnzel, and latkes…. just to name a few! And challah, always challah.
Fave Jewish tradition Shabbat dinner, always having a chance to unwind and close out the week with loved ones.

What did you love most about being a BRIDES CLUB member?
Loved having others to understand the importance of a number of Jewish traditions and the fun spin on them you can take. Everyone was so creative and inventive!
FUN STUFF
Top of your Bucket List: Seeing much more of the world’s beauty together 🙂 Locations are endless.
Perfect weekend is… Shabbat dinner at home, morning hike or beach walk with our pup Goldie, date night at our favorite local spot (we love to sit at the bar), brunch or BBQ with friends, and end with HBO’s finest Sunday programming. Other favorites are weekends in Ojai or browse open houses in the neighborhood.
Happiness is… breaking out in dance and not taking life too seriously!
