Cast of characters and location

Simcha Seeker: I’m a 43-year-old man who made Aliyah to Modi’in, Israel 19 years ago. I don’t like labels, but I belong to a Modern Orthodox beit knesset/shul. Despite the many blessings in my life, I too often find myself lacking simcha (joy).

Neetz: My wonderful Israeli wife. We’ve stood together through all the ups and downs (terror attacks, child-raising, coronavirus, etc.).

Avi: Our first-born and a ball of energy. He’s about to celebrate his bar mitzva!

Ya: Our 10-year-old princess, a natural-born leader.

Dovi: Our six-year-old boy who is cute as a button and a little spoiled.

*These are of course NOT our real names (they have been changed to protect the innocent…and me).
