Yesterday, this photo was given to my Father, Aaron by his brother ,Refael. A Photo of my grandparents, Shalom & Yole Dabush z"l and 4 of their kids (from right to left ) Reuven, Lelio z"l, Vera z"l & Amos z"l. They brought into the world 8 kids, 2 died as very young kids, Lelio and Tamar z"l. My father Aaron, was their smallest kid, and my grandmother's favorite child :-), he was born to a 50 years old father, and a 40 years old mother, my grandparents. Shalom & Yole came both from very respectable families in Libya (Tripoli ). Shalom came from most significant family of Rabbis & Dayan (- a judge of a Jewish religious court ), became himself the main accountant, of a big company and an importer of Wines & products , such as fabrics and more from Europe. Yole came from a very rich family. Yole's parents send workers to help at home, in laundries, and other house works. Since they were very Zionists, they left ALL their HUGE property , And came to Israel in 1952. (Each of their kids came different year ) When they came to Israel they live in at first, at terrible conditions at the Maabarot . May the memory of those died, mentioned here, will be for blessing.

A treasure.Bobba Quimba 16 Mar 2008
I love this portrait of your family ties...and the mention that your father? was an importer of fabrics at one time...hmmm. Yole is very beautiful and her nose is like yours...the haunting look on her face is deep and seriousi--I'm wondering why she looks to the left as Shalom looks straight ahead as does the older daughter..bqSteven Torrisi 16 Mar 2008
I agree with Hiromi I can see you in your grandmother. To wonder what they were thinking when this photo was taken. Did they look at (even older) photos of their grandparents and stare in amazement of youth and prosperity taken for posterity.Barry Huyett 16 Mar 2008
