DREAMS COME TRUE
RECHAVIAJOURNEYTO
THE ALIYAH OF THE EVEN-ISRAEL FAMILY
"Yudy Brody" BILL HACKNEY 443.763.6184 W hen I think of Rechavia, my mind conjures up an
upscale neighborhood in the heart of
22 Years in the Yerushalayim with tree-lined streets, green parks,
Pest Control and beautiful, often palatial, buildings surround-
business ed by neat gardens. Although but a few minutes
walk to shops, hotels, and restaurants on Keren
PEST Kayemet Street, Rechavia is almost purely resi-
SERVICES dential, with a mixture of both secular and reli-
gious Israelis as well as chutznikim (immigrants) interspersed
Residential & Commercial throughout the neighborhood. Meni and Liza Even-Israel and
their four children are one of the many families living in
410-989-1919 Rechavia, and Liza graciously agrees to share her story of how
www.QueenBPest.com they landed there.

until age eleven, when her parents decided to move to Israel.

Of course, leaving her friends in the States and moving to
a foreign country had its difficulties, but, she says, “My par-
ents always made it fun.” They would take trips around the
country or do simple things like going out for ice cream
together. Since Liza came from a small class of just seven
girls in L.A. – if you didn’t get along with your classmates
