or his family it was a sum-
mer wedding, for hers a
winter wedding, but fortu-
nately all agreed on the
date: June 28.
The B'nai Moshe nuptials of
Michigan native Howard Norber,
and Buenos Aires-born Veronica
Brailovsky, was a truly international
affair: guests came from three conti-
nents, the ceremony had English and
Spanish as well as Hebrew, and even
the invitations were trilingual. A
Spanish singer accompanied the
American band at the reception.
Howard and Veronica met in
Jerusalem in 1994, introduced by a

mutual friend, Veronica's Hebrew
University roommate. Veronica had
made aliyah on her own at the age of
18, and Howard had made aliyah in
1993, immediately after graduating
from Michigan State University.
In Israel, Veronica worked as a
certified tour guide and Howard had
a string of jobs, ranging from deliv-
ery boy for an architecture firm to
Jerusalem police officer tracking
down car thieves. On days off, the
couple enjoyed riding around the
country — particularly the route
from Jerusalem to the Dead Sea —
on Howard's motorcycle. The two
communicated mostly in Hebrew,
with a little English.
A year ago the new Israelis got
engaged and moved west. They

trekked down to the
southern hemisphere so
that Howard could meet
Veronica's parents, then
made their way up to the
northern hemisphere, so
that Howard could pursue a
J.D. at the Detroit College
of Law in East Lansing.
Veronica now works as a Span-
ish tutor and Hebrew school
teacher.
After Howard gets his degree,
they plan to return to Israel,
where Veronica's parents are
headed too. Which means the
newlyweds will only have to
travel to one other hemisphere, not
two, to keep up with
relatives.
