Dina and Eli's special story weaves within it struggles of searching for meaning and identity, cultural, language and country changes. Building relationships and dealing with pregnancy complications and other problems.
From the moment they tied their lives together, they established their love for each other and their faith in Gd without giving up their previous lives with their family, and by constantly listening to their souls and hobbies.

Eli, Elnatan

When Eli was about six months old, his parents returned to the United States, first due to the need for medical treatment, and later remained there due to management positions his father received in Jewish institutions.
Eli spent most of his childhood in Miami Beach, Florida, and at the age of 10, his family moved to Silver Spring, Maryland, where his father served as the principal of the Jewish school.

Although Debbie grew up in a non-religious home, in Silver Spring - Maryland, her parents, who both worked, preferred to send her to a Jewish school where they also study on Sundays. This is how she came to the "Hebrew Acadmy" Jewish school, which was later run by Eli's father.
During her studies, Debbie became attached to the principal's daughter, Toby (Tova) Horowitz and they became good friends. Debbie found in their home a warmth and a religious Jewish atmosphere that she did not recognize in her home. Debbie enjoyed being with them on Saturdays and holidays.
