What is my favorite SUMMER CELEBRATION? A concert at the Hollywood Bowl! and I LOVED seeing Ricky Martin with my parents. “Global superstar Ricky Martin in his Hollywood Bowl debut with Los Angeles Philharmonic and Conductor Gustavo Dudamel for a spectacular once-in-a-lifetime concert. An exhilarating night of “Livin’ La Vida Loca” and many other international hits with the King of Latin Pop!”

On June 12, Eve Karlin made Aliyah to Israel with the assistance of Nefesh B’Nefesh. Twelve hours later, at 3:30 a.m., she woke up to the sounds of loud sirens.
Pairing the tender fish brochettes with the vibrant herb sauce and crispy potatoes reminded us of eating by the sea with the scent of saltwater in the air.
Among all the visits and meals and catching up with new and old friends, two experiences are unique and will remain in our memories for an exceptionally long time.
