The wedding picture of Mazal and Avram Tenev

Report an issue
This is a photo taken in Yaffo during the wedding of Mazal and Avram Tenev in the 1970s. Mazal is my brother David Levi's daughter. Later Avram was killed while serving in the Israeli army. After his death Mazal married another man with whom she lives today. One of my brothers is called David Levi. He wasn't very ambitious, he remained uneducated and he used to be a laborer. He felt underprivileged in our family because we didn't pay much attention to him. He got married in Bulgaria and his two daughters were born here. He used to work in a textile factory then and he was given a small room there, which he used to live in. Yet, he moved to Israel as early as 1949, where he continued to work in whatever job he found. His children are very good people. One of his daughters, Rahel, used to be a bank clerk, the other, Mazal, made a career as well and they both have nice families.
