Mort and  Barbara Held

An acquaintance of his, who happened to be my boyfriend at the time, introduced us because he knew that I was starting college where he was to be a junior.   We were just friends for a year.  The following summer we worked together as counselors at a summer day camp, and I broke up with the boyfriend and soon after started dating my husband.   The rest is history

Barbara and Gerry Mogenlender

We met in December 1980, it was a mild winter but yet quite enthralling. It was at her parents photo shop as I was there to meet a friend of mine that was working for them. I was introduced to my beautiful wife for the first time and there and then I knew. We married in August 1986 because I said I wanted to marry the same year as the Mets won a World Series. Its a good thing we didn’t meet in 1987 because I would be single now, not a member of TBT, get to sleep late on weekends and I'd be in 4 bowling leagues. Oh well...

Scott and Eileen Abrams

We met at the "Kenny Loggins on Broadway" concert. Neither of us knew each other going in to the theatre but, by the time we left, we were friends. Ironically we both had turned down the tickets earlier that day.  Luckily for our wonderful children, we changed our minds.

Howard and Lauren Lev

Both of us were unhappy after she was widowed and he was divorced.  We both had a pair of teenage children who prodded us to submit our names to a dating service.  Once we met and "clicked", we started to meet each other’s friends.  One pointed out that we could have been brought together two years earlier, she had tried to set us up.  It was meant to be.  That was 10 years ago and we brought all four children together under one roof.

Sharon and Ben Scernese

We had met in college but hadn’t really connected before she transferred to another school.  One spring day my senior year I was in a park BBQ with my friends and saw her sitting on a bench talking to a friend and snuck up behind her, covered her eyes and played, “guess who”.  She guessed correctly and said she had had a dream about me the night before and KNEW that she would see me that day in the park.

Rob and Debbie Saunders

I was a bartender and she was a waitress at a catering hall. I hit on her right away. Our first date was a bad movie, I proposed a year later that was 22 years ago.

Mark and Beverly Freidman

She was in the back seat of my car while I made out with her best friend.  She threw her shoes at me from the back seat to try and get my attention.  It worked.

It was a blind date set up by a mutual friend.  We went to Casblanca’s in Woodmere and that was 24 years ago

Jeff Cohen

We met at the first meeting of SUYO Senior, September 1975, in the Youth Lounge of the Suburban Temple.  He stood out from the others in his cowboy hat. I was a big flirt when I was a teen and went over and introduced myself.  Two months later he 'asked me out' at Kutz Camp while on a NFTY conclave.  In 1977, we had a mock wedding for SUYO. Les wore a leisure suit

and I found a wedding gown that fit in Sisterhood's Rummage.  (picture attached). Les and I were married, for real, by Rabbi Raab on October 10,1982.

Judy and Les Kule

We met at Thanksgiving Dinner at her family home. I was invited to dinner as an extended family member and we “clicked” immediately.  My wife’s second cousin is my step father’s wife.
