About

Our Love Israel

The Story of  Samantha & David

For those of you who don’t know “Our Love Story”, here is how it all started –

 

It all began in April of 2014 at the classiest establishment of the Lower East Side, 13th Step. Post Hebrew class with one of his childhood best friends, David joined the IU boys to meet up with the IU girls. Post-work dinner & drinks with her girls, Samantha and crew met up with the boys. In true fairytale fashion, as soon as David & Samantha met for the first time, David offered to hold her backpack [Insert Awwee here].

 

From that point on, their love quickly grew, but we won’t bore you with the little details! The important thing to understand is why David & Samantha have decided to get married in Israel!  It all starts with a very important word, that has molded both their love and this decision… 

 

ba·shert

noun

(in Jewish use) a person's soulmate.

 

Origin

Yiddish ‘fate, destiny.’

 

Bashert is a wonderful Yiddish word which has many intricate layers of meanings. In its basic form it means “meant to be”.

 

The night Samantha & David met, it was Bashert. Samantha & David are Bashert.  Our love is Bashert.  Summer of 2015,  David & Samantha went on their first summer to trip Israel together. Both had shared a mutual passion for Israel having spent time there separately prior to meeting – David had went on Birthright and work trips there before they met and Samantha had traveled there both with her family and spent a summer there with camp! Tel Aviv instantly became their happiest place together, and they shared an even greater love for Israel. After visiting each consecutive summer, it became their ultimate dream to marry in the Promise-Land, surrounded by their closest friends and family.

 

Fast forward to the engagement, as David & Samantha explored many different options for their wedding – only one place felt right. Making the decision to get married in Israel would be a dream come true and truly be Bashert. We know that this was a lot to ask of our family and friends, the trip is far, the journey is long, but nothing else could feel more right. Getting the opportunity to celebrate the most special moment in our lives, surrounded by the people we love most, in our happiest place on earth is something that is beyond our wildest dreams!!!!! With that being said, we cannot wait for our loved ones to touch down in Israel and celebrate with us! We love all of you more than you can imagine and we are so grateful and appreciative that many of you will be able to join us as we celebrate the marriage of two people whose love is truly Bashert.
