Members of Karaganda Jewish community Elizaveta and Efim Rofman have celebrated their golden wedding.

   They met each other before WWII, when both were children. When the war started they were evacuated to Kazakhstan along with other Jewish families. They used to work in Karaganda; Efim was a design engineer in coal industry, Elizaveta was an economist.

   Now their eldest son Mark lives in Almaty, and the youngest Igor in Australia. Rofmans take part in all communal and cultural activities in the Hesed "Miriam" and "Shemesh" . JCC. Jewish culture is an integral part of their life.

   Karaganda Jewish community would like to congratulate Efim and Elizaveta on their anniversary and wish them "ad mea ve esrim" - to live till 120!
