My name is Barry (Dov) Landzbaum from Chicago. I was at KB with Stu Brandhandler; we arrived at KB together, but I left the ulpan a month or so early. Our ulpan teacher was Rivka Arzi (z"l). She was so good that, thanks to her and others, I've taught Hebrew at ulpanim.
Regards to the Rimons, the Gelbs and the Henigs.
I've been living in Arad since 1980. I'm married and have 3 children.
All the best.

My name is Raymond Brightwell. I am from New Zealand. I volunteered at Kfar Blum from October 89 to late 1990. I have so many good memories of my time there.(One year) The weather, the birds migrating, the apple orchards. The whole experience is one I can never forget. It was probably the most exhilarating year of my life. What a shame it is no more. I wonder why Kfar Blum took that step. I still have contact with some members from there and even had some kibbutz kids come to stay with me.

Roz (Rozzy Adin) Vogelfangerrozelliot@webtv.netNewport Coast(Beach) CAThere were 3 of us on our Workshop and the program was similar to whatDebby N. (Kallen) described.I'm originally from Brooklyn, NY - Crown Heights and then Daroma. ThenLA., 11 yrs NJ. 24 years in Houston, TX and now CA again.We just returned from Israel 7/10/05 with our three grandson's and theirparents on a B'nai Mitzvah tour which unexpectedly and happily included2 nights at K'far Blum which is greatly changed from the "old days". Wewere unable to arrange the time to see Pinchas Rimon (shaliach to NY-K'far Blumer,etc.) I was delighted that my kibbutz "ima"(more like a bigsister) Stephie who was married to Sticky(formerly from Great Britain,now deceased) was there and entertained us beautifully. Stephie foryears had much responsibility for aspects of the Guest house which nowhas some 140 rooms and is lovely. Hers is the only family with 4 (four)generations living at K'far Blum!

I lived in Kfar Blum in '85 and have to say it was as home as home can be.. I'm now living in NYC with my wife and two kids. I went back to Israel as part of our honeymoon and of course visited "home" and introduced my wife to yaffa (Gal) my "mother" on the Kibbutz. I was glad to see this site exists but sorry to hear the volunteer program does not. The time I shared with the members and volunteers will always be a part of who I am today..Russ T FisherRuss T FisherOne Fish Two Fish Productions300 E. 93rd St. #8BNew York NY 10128Cell 917 837-7105Office 212 534-6542
