My father was a family practitioner, delivered babies on kitchen tables and went to see patients at 3 o'clock in the morning. I remember more than one time being called down to shovel out the driveway so he could get to see a patient right away. I guess that was probably the beginning of my volunteerism efforts!) It was definitely volunteer—volunteer on command!

For my parents, Jewish education was of primary importance. My father was a Zionist, as was my mother, and the study of the Hebrew language was very, very important to them.
