Jurek, could you provide any information about that photograph that D. and I discuss here? When I look yet again, I think I see a second man.

[jurek46pink]

Found in the...internet - global source. I listen to the music designed for posting and try to find something what - according to my feelings - suits it. As YT spoils quality of the image, I could send it to you in much better shape, if you wish.

Thanks.

I love the Barry Sisters, and this is a beautiful sample of their singing. Eshet Hail (Hebrew) or Eyshes Chayil (Yiddish) is the "Woman of Valor" mentioned in the book of Proverbs in the Bible. The first few lines: A true woman of valor, precious and loyal, a golden soul, a joy and a comfort, beloved wife and caring mother. The photo looks like something I've seen in my family's album :) Thanks J.
