Our first non-English-speaking buddy

Yesterday evening, we took a new friend out for coffee. We met Alex through Elia, one of David's counselors. The great thing is that Alex, who is originally from Ukraine but has been in Israel for nearly 2 decades, speaks almost no English. This forces us to communicate in Hebrew, which we were able to do quite well. We must be sure to spend more time with him, especially since he's also a very nice guy.
