Seril "Betty" Elizabeth Cohen

Betty given name Seril after paternal grandmother Seril Cohen (Dubiver), middle name Elizabeth after maternal grandmother Elizabeth Frost (Atkinson). Betty was a legal secretary. Like my grandmother, she worshiped G-d, and all things “proper”, i.e. no work on Shabbat, love G-d and fellow man, work hard, hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil. When Betty traveled to Israel in the 1960’s, she came home with a pouch of dirt for me. I don’t know exactly what it was about dirt from the Holy Land that helped to shape my heart. Suffice to say it planted a seed in my soul. Today, fifty years later I can see she was instrumental in opening the door, not only to learn about my heritage, but to receive what G-d promised to all who love Him.
