HENRY & SLAVA LEVINE'S DESCENDANTS

Carol Levine Bluestein, eldest daughter of Noah Levine and granddaughter of Henry & Slava Levine, carried a leather-bound album of treasured black-and-white family photos when she first met her second cousins -- Sandy Stein and Jane Lewit. We peered over her shoulder and recognized some of the photos being shared -- see a select few below.

 Sandy and some of our generation, as children, remembered visiting Henry and Slava's large home -- with its warm hospitality, home-baked challah, and even live fish in the bathtub before they became ingredients in homemade gefilte fish. Do you have any other specific recollections to share?
