About Me
- Name: Carl in Jerusalem
- Location: Jerusalem, Israel
I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004. You can contact me at: IsraelMatzav at gmail dot com

Give it a shot ... describe the relation.
Yehuda
Are you from Paramus, New Jersey? Do you have sisters named Brenda and Chaya? Do you actually live in Kiryat Sefer? Do you have first cousins in Bayit v'Gan?
My father is Eli Berlinger, who is first cousin of Cantor Eli Berlinger from Paramus, NJ. Brenda and Chaya are my second cousins; their brother Shlomo (also my second cousin, of course) lives in Kiryat Sefer. I see him at simchas once or twice a year.
My first cousins in Bayit Vagan are Avi and Robin Triestman, and their daughter is being bat-mitzvahed in a few weeks (I'll be there). Their son Rami goes to school with my son Saarya in Torah U'mada. Avi's parents, Hannah and Sol Triestman, are also very close and dear to me.
We are all descended from Naphtali Berlinger from Buttenhausen, Germany.
And you?
Yehuda (formerly Jonathan)

A quick correction. Cantor Eli Berlinger does not live in Paramus, NJ. He lives in White PLains, NY. His children are Naftali, Daniel, and Chani (Joanna). His brother Ismar Berlinger lives in Paramus, NJ. Ismar has four children: Brendle (not Brenda), Esther, Chaya and Shlomo (that's me).
