Twenty-four years ago I went to Live Aid with Sam Shoham--my high school friend from Israel. He went on to graduate the following year after his junior year. I haven't seen him since. Thanks to Facebook we reconnected a couple of weeks ago via the internet. And finally, on Friday night we got together in person. We shared Shabbat dinner with his wife, in-laws and two sons. It was a first in many ways, one of which was eating a birthday cake prepared for me a month before my actual b-day and baked by someone I never met (Shmuel's wife, Ruth). It was a great reunion and a pleasure to meet this wonderful family.
