Bubby & Zaidy are Yiddish for the person who is a Grandmother or Grandfather. All cultural communities have a word for that person. They are the community elder. The tradition of being an Elder is one of passing on the learning that comes for years of watching life happen. This tradition is challenged by how younger generations are communicating and so we have decided to take up the opportunity of BLOGGING to ensure our stories get passed onto the next generation.
"You seek help from the elders. A society with elders is healthy. It's not always that way in the West." Bernard Lagat
It is important to seek out the truth. In this video Bruce explains how he discovered the truth about his wife's family as it was torn apart during the war.
