My son got married in Chernovtsy in 1981. His wife's name is Nina and her Jewish name is Nehama. Her nee name is Borina. Nina was born in Chernovtsy in 1952. Her father Abram Borin worked at a plant and her mother Feiga Borina was a dressmaker. Nina studied at the Philological Faculty of University in Chernovtsy. She was a teacher of the Russian language and literature. Grigory and Nina had a civil ceremony and then we made a traditional Jewish wedding party at the Dnestr restaurant. Their guests were mostly Jews. They had a huppah and there was a rabbi from the synagogue in Chernovtsy. There was kosher food and all rituals were followed.
In 1982 my grandson Piotr was born and the following year my granddaughter Svetlana, Surah, was born. My son named her after her great grandmother. My son and daughter-in-law raised their children Jewish. They both studied at the Jewish school. My son taught them music. My grandson is in Israel. He went there to study at school and decided to stay after finishing school. He served in the army and now studies at the University. My granddaughter is married. She teaches music and Hebrew at the Jewish school. Nina is a librarian at the Hesed.
