adam... mazel tov... truly happy to hear youre getting married. You are very much the man - its great being your cousin. I am assuming thi means that you are coming to join us in israel - which means we must make friends. Lotsa Love and best wishes - Elchanan (id say some bogus about bayis neeman biyisrale, but then i would lose the contents of my lower intestine... so Mazel T.)

Mazel Tov Guys! We were so happy to hear the good news!

mazel tov guys!! wish you all the best!

Erica and adam, MAZOL TOV!!!! love amanda

MAZEL TOV!!!!!!!!!!! im so happy for you. i was so happy when idy called me to tell me!!! wishing u and urchosson only the best! love, surie

ok, I KNOW u guyz have a whole slideshow of pictures; i was there!! Well i just wanted to wish u guyz a big fat mazal tov and i give u guyz a bracha that u share a wonderful life together and that u continue to help each other grow. Again mazal tov, and if u need more ppl to crash at my house for the weddin' u know the number!!

To my dear beloved Talmud Chachem! May you be blessed with as much Naches as you have bestowed upon this Oylem. You have no idea as to the degree of immense joy and elation which made me plotz with laughter. I have to tell you that at the time I was with my friend and the poor schlemazel had his car stolen. So i said to myself i said, " this situation will make ashen porach out of that simcha!" But when i got home to my personal desktop computer i said to myself again i said, "Oy, I could kvell watching those kids selling that house." But then I realized that it was a real koontz to finally see you find a true shayna punim that makes you proud! I know that your makatenistaim will be happier than me, which i find hard a little too ongapatchka. CHAVAHLEH, i know ADAM (ADAM) has a way with words and humor but please let's hope he doesn't open up that pisk and disclose any kakameyme ideas. Some advice for you for the future is that life is not always like a daf of gemarah, it doesnt always get more interesting as you progress, You have got to spice it up with some tzibeleh and shtick. I know you guys had to sit and and listen to the whole megillah but i feel that you two will make some kreftig of a couple. AMEN! May you build a Bais Neeman BeYisroel. And judging from the sign, I hope you dont sell it. (That was a joke). Mazal Tov from your dear friend Boychik Gottessmann, D.D.S. Feel Free to call me anytime. I left you my number that time we were at the Singles event. But unlike you, I still have to go to the singles events. Can you believe that? A nice handsome dentist and I still cant find true love. OY the tears I've shed. The tissues I've used. OY. But it's nice. And as Dr. Seuss said, when Hakadosh Baruchu gives you lemons, give maaser, terumas hamaaser, and add water, some sugar, but not too much or your teeth will rot and you'll have to see a dentist (p.s. Im a dentist), and make some kosher lemonade. But make sure you say a Shehakol, drink a reviis, and say a bracha achroyna. Ameyn. Such Joy, Exuberance, Elation, and Happiness.

Erica! This is unbelieveable news! Im sooo excited for you. I cant wait to wish you mazel tov in person, but for now this will have to do. You are one of the strongest most pure hearted, genuine people I know and there is no one better than you for Adam. MazalTov to both of you. David and I wish you only happiness, health, love, a life time of Torah and tons of prosperity. Much love, Danielle (Bloch) Abraham

ADINA!!!!!!!! MAZAL TOV!! I AM SOOOOO EXCITED FOR YOU!!!!!! I am totally coming to the wedding, btw. YAY!!!! Now we can, like, totally talk about the fact that you are pseudo-engaged because, you know, you are engaged. Wow! Adina, nice work. (And Rena, I see you TOTALLY stole my joke. Bad gurl. We'll have to talk about this.)

MAZAL TOV!!!!!!!! wish you only the best and many more simchas!!! I hope I would get to know you better, we should hang out more, which just reminded me abt the first time i ever met you. It was three years ago, when I was only a little freshman. I was with Helen and she was jumping off the walls b/c of excitement so I asked her what she was excited abt and she said "Erica is coming!!!!" Next thing you know, Denise comes in with you by her side. I eventually found out you two were sisters and talked for a little while with everyone. It was really nice and sweet (thats how I remember this). It may not seem like much coming from me, but I am very happy for you. I may not know you very well, but you look like deserve this happiness. May you have a happy and wonderful life with your new husband!!

MAZAL TOV!!!! I'm soo soo happy for you both. Adam, you're marrying one of the most yasher people I have ever met. I feel honored that she keeps letting me room with and learn from her.

In case you were nervous she also happens to be an excellent bathroom sharer, room decorater, ezer k'negdo (I was it first- and she is very helpful :), hair straightener, note leaver, tiyul "partner," camera carrier, and stuff rememberer. May you both have continued growing bracha, simcha and ahava as maeh v'esrim (with really, really good next door neighbors:) ) I look forward to sharing in many more smachot together!!

Have fun you two!!! Love Lisa

once apon a time there was a super amzing post that was as long as a megilah, and as creative and story like as other ppls and chava and adam loved it, and they both lived happily ever after with their joint custody coffee table book. the end

CHAVA/ERICA!!! I know, I know, I'm late, but apparently the news is slow to travel to little places on the map, like Cleveland ;-p! So, first and foremost: A big huge Mazal Tov to both of you!! I am so happy when, in reference to Hinda's latest post, fairy tales actually do come true! This is wonderful news! Also, I just want you to know what kind of difficulty this leads me to. First, you're Erica, then you're Chava/Erica, now it's going to be Chava/Erica Kelin/Simon. Hmm. It never ends, does it?? I MISS YOU!!! I need to call you soon, and I know it's been way too long, but I still feel like you're a constant part of my life, and this wonderful occasion is just going to force me a little bit to get on that phone and talk to you like a real person. Sounds good? Good! Mazal tov again, and may the two of you be zoche to build a home that is a shining, guiding light in Yisrael, and a home of bracha, simcha and hatzlacha, ad me'ah v'esrim!! Miss you tons!! -Miryam

Once upon a time, there were 2 princesses named Princess Perica and Princess Pinda. They lived together for a good while, and now they live apart (no restraining order needed). Throughout the friendship of the 2 princesses, Prince Padam was looking for a beautiful princess. He had known Princess Perica for quite a while and decided to keep her around. Now, Prince Padam and Princess Perica (Pava?) are engaged to be MARRIED! It is going to be a regal and royal affair on the west side of the country. We, all the villagers from far and near, wish the prince and princess a most wonderful life together. It is going to be quite a...how do they say it in present day language? A rocking party? Yes, a rocking party. The end. *I am still smiling about this amazing news! I am still wishing you all the best and I am still waiting to see you! I MISS YOU! Love, Pinds

It all started in August of 2003, when me and Erica meet. After arriving late to our apartment this glow of sunshine arrived all the way from San Diego. She came into our apartment and we became friends instantly from the moment. We started speaking about ncsy and we knew that we were instant friends. After our first conversation that was 3 hours we knew that we were going to be awesome friends. The first time I saw adam was at a yosef kraduner concert when he was on the other side of the room. They spoke and we knew that they were perfect for each other. From then on it was Erica and adam are just regional board friends. They finally I decided I was going to call them boyfriend and girlfriend and they were together. From the moment I realize that adam was a big part in Erica life. From their long distance relationship in Israel, Los Angles they were able to make it work ( bh!). They are this unit that is one soul that was able to surprise each other for visit, shabbaton, ncsy meeting, calls to wakeup in the morning, and just to say I love u! And then Adam came to visit me while I have my meeting – interview for ncsy. I realize the care and devotion that he has for b’’h his eishet chayil! His love and care for every detail of her life is remarkable. It was an honor to call you both my wonderful friends and I am so glad that I was able to meet adam my posek that answers all my questions and thoughts and shows me that he will take good care of my best friend. How do you describe what you feel about someone else over the computer. How do you tell them you wish you could give them the biggest hug right away. You say that the relationship we have formed is thicker than anything and we can make it through you going to Israel for shana rishona. Well I think that you say that ERICA is amazing, incredible, wonderful, unbelievable and just out of this world. She is the most amazing gift that was given to me and the rest of the world. She is my ROLE MODEL, BEST FRIEND AND MY INSPIRATION and the person that has been there for me throughout everything! I thank h-shem each and every day that he put this incredible aishet chayil, wonderful princess, chessed, emes, avodah, and all the bracha that could be inside one person. I love you for being amazing and I love you for being my Erica and even though I am crying I am so happy to have you and “ adam” in my life. I love you so much and I give you a bracha that h-shem bless this amazing couple that has made it through the world with everything. I give you a bracha that you have much parsna- from all of adam’s business, mazel, chessed, ability to do kiruv hopefully on the east coast!!! I love you so much and I am so happy for you and your amazing family and I look forward to going to see you so soon!!! I am so excited for my trip to san diego, the border, the zoo and all the other places!!! With love always, Allison
