I try to capture moments like this for future generations to see. ikhveysnit....lighten up.

This is my grandmother at 96. She will be 97 on 2/21.

That means my Mom will be 77 and I'll be 57! OY!!!!

check out my other movies if u want....type in...randi1len,

You will get to see my grandmother as a professional artist.

The Yiddish thing isn't her at all! I would call her a pretty contemporary woman. That's why I said funny, I guess.

I'm watching this video in Israel with my warsaw-born grandfather, Ytzchak, who is also being my interpreter.

my grandfather says:

aah, that was priceless. I laughed so much! thank you for sharing your family video. what a treasured keepsake for all your family. It really also serves as a semi-oral history of sorts. we have to preserve the past so we know where we came from.
