In February, 2000, Carol Wolff sent an email to many family members describing a visit to Migdal HaEmek that she had made with her cousin Pnina (on her mother's side) who speaks Yiddish, and her Russian friend Svetlana. Armed with fluent speakers of Yiddish and Russian, she was able to have a lovely visit with cousins Ettel, her husband Dolya, and her 16 year old grandson Felix (who had all immigrated from Dnepropetrosk about two years earlier). Carol said that Ettel reminded her of her Bubby, Chaika.
In addition to the Alterman family, Carol wrote that they were joined by the newest arrivals from the former Soviet Union, the Klebanov family consisting of Kraina and Lonya, and their son Arkady.

In 2006, Caroline and I traveled to Israel to celebrate Ilan's marriage to Shira. During the time we were in the country, Carol and Micha Wolff drove us to Migdal Ha'Emek to meet Ettel and Croyna, Lev's daughter. So, my mother (Hebrew name, Croyna) met her first cousins -- Ettel and Croyna -- for the first time. The three cousins were about the same age and saw each other as a kindred spirit. They communicated as best as they could: Ettel and Croyna spoke Russian, mainly, and Yiddish, with very little Hebrew. Caroline's Yiddish was spotty after so many years, but Carol was able to translate a bit from the Yiddish to German and then to English. One scene sticks in my mind: as we were leaving, the three elderly cousins linked arms to walk to our car, and they started singing a Yiddish song that they all had learned as children.
