More than two months passed, as I have come back from Israel, and decided to write article about children, who come to Israel on the program "NAALE" and about families, who not only help the child to get used to life in the country with other mutual relation, but also show care, advise, prompt. About families, where the child can come and share impressions, emotional, discuss the plans of his further life. I was touched by people, who are called "The second family" in Israel. I want to tell about it - about the people, who crossed my senior daughter's path.

  Their names are Ebi and Yafa Bruhim, they live in Jerusalem. Unfortunately, I know about them a little. Basically, I know about them according to Bella's words. My feelings and impressions form from dialogue with these surprisingly kind, noble and sympathetic people for that short time I was there.

  Ebi and Yafa arrived (or ran) from Iran in 1960s, as young people - Yafe was 18 ages, Ebi was older slightly. Ebi had to work much, Yafa brought up three sons. Children grew up, married, grandchild were born. Ebi built a large beautiful house. It seems, all in this life is made; it is possible to live for themselves, but, probably, these people have such psychology, who lived for others whole life. And they took from "pnemiya" - boarding school, a girl from Kazakhstan, who only begins to speak Hebrew.

  16 years passed since my daughter has come in the house of Bruhim. I know that all these years she was reliably saved and surrounded with care. Ebi recollects, how it began: "Initially Bella came on Shabbats, but I got up very early on Sunday, started a machine and drove her back to "pnemiya". Bella took schoolbag, left the machine, went it round, kissed me in my cheek and went to school". So time was passing. Bella finished school. In future army, work, life will be. The house of Yafa and Ebi became for her same native, as house in Kazakhstan.

  During study and life in Israel Bella came home to Kazakhstan some times, and I went to her, but so it turned out, that I got acquainted with family Bruhim only in this arrival. I looked at them and thought that such families are good many and children, coming for training on the various programs in Israel, will meet families like this.

  I wish you health, well-being and long years of joint life, dear Yafa and Ebi Bruhim!
