Many years ago, a cousin  of Ezi’s, Ehud Netzer z”l, took us on a tour of the family’s Jerusalem.  Among all the places he showed us, such as the police station on Jaffa Road, which was once the house of Ezi’s great grandparents, he also discussed much of the family’s history.  As usual, I wasn’t paying total attention, but when he came to the part about Zalman Ben Tovim and Itzhak Isaac Ben Tovim being friends of Eliezer Ben Yehuda and contributing to the lexicon, I did my best to focus.  The only word I could remember was “kvish” for road.  Yesterday I started going on a hunt for other Hebrew words invented by Ezi’s family.  It took all day and I found nothing, so I didn’t have a chance to update this journal on time for a daily entry,but maybe another cousin will come up with something today.
