Le monde est petit, It's a small world.....

Quand Simone Foinquinos Melo (Simita) etait a Tanger, il y a une dizaine d’annees, elle rencontra un monsieur Moses Levy qui habitait Belem au Bresil et lui revela connaitre un Foinquinos Walter dans cette ville. En parlant, elle se rendit compte que les parents de ce Moses et ses parents avaient ete amis et ses amis d’enfance a elle aussi. De retour a Haifa, elle se mit en contact avec la soeur de ce Moses,qui depuis, habite lui aussi Haifa.
When Simone Foinquinos Melo (Simita) was in Tangiers ten years ago, she met a Moses Levy who lived in Belem, Brazil who told her he knew a Foinquinos Walter in that city. While talking, she realized that Moses' parents and her parents were friends and also her own childhood friends. Back in Haifa, she contacted Moses' sister; Moses since then relocated to Haifa.

Hier, par hasard, Simita decida de telephoner a la soeur de Moses et elle apprit que Deborah Foinquinos du Bresil etait en visite a Jerusalem. Hors Deborah est la fille de Walter Foinquinos de Belem. Simita telephona a Deborah et les deux etaient abasourdies de connaitre les memes Levy.
Yesterday, by pure coincidence, Simita decided to call Moses' sister and she learned that Deborah Foinquinos from Brazil was staying in Jerusalem. Deborah is in fact the daughter of Walter Foinquinos of Belem. Simita called Deborah and both were stunned to know the same Levys.

Deborah retourne au Bresil aujourdhui. Elle est en fait aussi la cousine de Daniel et Saul Foinquinos de Manaus et est grande amie de la femme de Saul, Ruth Gabbay Mendes.
Deborah is going back to Brazil today. She is also Daniel and Saul Foinquinos from Manaus cousin and a good friend to Saul's wife, Ruth Gabbay Mendes.

Births in the family

A very important baby was born last year. He is the most adored, on our side of the family, and his name is Ethan, son of Valerie Serfati and Laurent Danilovic. He is born in March 2007, so he is a little bit more than one year old now. Valerie is Patricia's daughter (my sister). My niece is crazy about her son, a few of his pictures are on the Facebook group and under her profile.


Just born a few weeks ago, Lea Tal Foinquinos, second child of Ilan and Caroline Touitou Tal. Ilan is the son of Jacky and Rita Foinquinos Tal and grand son of Albert and Perla from Kfar Saba. A lot of pictures of the adorable Lea are on Facebook too.


Lou lou lou, long life to the babies and a lot of energy to the parents
