When Shaul and Naomi May were thinking of making aliyah from Atlanta, GA one of the places they visited was Efrat. Naomi recalls, “We wanted to find a suitable long-term home for our adult son, Yehoshua, who has special needs.

The greater Jerusalem area seemed like our best bet.” Their pilot trip coincided with the yahrzeit of Naomi’s father, and so they stopped at a shul in Efrat so that she could say kaddish. It was a weekday morning and there was only one other woman in the women’s section that day -- Phyllis Goldman, who had made aliyah from Chicago many years earlier and was a regular shul attendee.
