Happy Hanukah to everyone! No babies were born, but this year brought special joy to our family. My oma, Nelly Czubata Leichihman, and her brother Poldy Czubata left Romania in 1965. They were grew up in Czernovitz but moved to Bucharest after the war and started families.
My mother and her cousin were 12 years old when they left Romania. My oma’s family moved to America. Her brother’s family moved to Israel. The last time my mom saw her cousin was at the age of 17 when she traveled to Israel to work on a kibbutz. Finally, after more than 50 years, my mom made it back to Israel last spring and reunited with her cousin. They kissed and touched each other’s faces and sat close together on the sofa, as if needing a physical reminder that they were indeed both there together. Many tears flowed. Were my Oma still alive, she would have loved this group. She loved her roots and childhood before the war in Little Vienna, as she called it, fiercely. Thank you for awakening little memories of her with the messages that pop up throughout the year. Wishing everyone health and happiness in the year ahead, Devorah On Thursday, December 18, 2025, Mandy Traineanu <[email protected]> wrote: > May this holiday be bright for you all and warm your lives, souls and > hearts.
