Hello friends. The Shofar got wind of the Israel connection via email, courtesy of Barbara Glassner, daughter of Peri and the late Bill Sausmer. Seems that Barbara was having lunch in a Bedouin tent after a camel ride (yup, that’s what she said), and a woman at the next table mentioned “Greenport.”  So, Barbara, playing a little Jewish geography, asked, “Are you Jewish?” With an answer in the affirmative, Barbara asked, “What synagogue?” And there you have it, another Israel connection: former shul members and dear friends of CTI Marian Friedmann and David Judlowitz meet Peri and Bill Sausmer’s daughter Barbara in a Bedouin tent. What are the chances of that happening? Apparently, pretty good.
