ALIZA ITZCHAKI (2000)

After high school, I was privileged to attend Bnos Chava seminary in Yerushalayim where I was able to grow spiritually and develop a path for the future. Looking back at all the fond memories,  I can’t imagine having spent the year differently. It was a great place in all aspects and it was especially great to have been in Israel through all the holidays and to see how people live there. It was a great lesson for me.

I am now engaged to Yehuda Hafisov of Queens, NY. Yehuda is 20 years old and he’s currently finishing his PTA (Physical Therapy Assistant) program at Touro College of Manhattan and he is learning by Rabbi Walkin in Queens. The wedding will I”YH be on August 10th at Leonards in Great Neck, NY and you’re all invited!!!       I work in EGL Laboratories, a diamond grading place on 48th street. I also attend Touro College where I major in Accounting. I hope this will be a good career choice for me as I prepare to be a wife and eventually G-d willing, a mother. To all of you who are thinking about this field, think it over well. It is a lot of hard work, but it does pay off in the end.         My fondest BHI memory is the impromptu kumzitzes that we used to have in our classroom in between classes. At those times, the achdus was in the air as the voices blended in perfect harmony.       I have learned that it is very important to be positive, even when things don’t go your way. I also learned that you must cherish the friendships and the people that surround you.       Thank you to the BHI Alumnae Link for trying to keep our BHI family together. Your efforts are definitely appreciated.

COUNTESS UPA (COHEN) MADAMKINA (1504)

Countess Upa has been happily married to Count Shlomo Mordechai Madamkin for the past 500 years. She was the a student of the original Be'er Hagolah founded long before Columbus set foot in America. While that BHI was supposed to remain lost to eternity, when the Countes heard that no one was responding to the Profile of the Month nominations in the 21st century, she was so appalled, that she decided to take matters into her own hands and willingly got in touch with us. As a student, Upa was rebellious and sceptical, but upon graduation she began to acknowledge her Jewish roots, and chose post-marital head-covering as her most cherished commitment. Countess Madamkina has 473,987 children.

CHANIE  (RABINOWITZ) ZLATKINE (1999)

Chanie says: "We live in Lakewood and we love it here. My husband learns in the Yeshiva here and I, well I'm not sure what my job is anymore - I have so many. My "real" job is property management and bookkeeping. But since I had my son I didn't want to leave him with a babysitter, so I took "some" time off from work but then I had my next baby so I'm still in the process of returning to work but I just keep pushing up the age at which I would leave them with a sitter. So in the meantime I have a playgroup for kids my son's age and I do computer graphics as a private business, and now I also started selling custom sheitels. My oldest, Moishy, just turned two and my baby Chayala is six months. My humble and completely unbiased opinion is that they are the cutest things."
