Kivi and Rivka Gordon welcomed Yonah (Jonah) Dov into the world on December 27, 2017. The baby’s maternal grandparents are Rabbi Shmuel and Barbara Goldin, who recently made aliyah after 33 years in Englewood. Rabbi Goldin is the rabbi emeritus of Congregation Ahavath Torah. The baby’s paternal grandparents are Hal and Sue Gordon of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

The Gordons, who now live in Queens, chose the name “Dov” to remember both Rivka’s uncle and Kivi’s great-grandfather who was lost during World War I.
