It all began on Sept. 4, 2006 when Angloman received an email from RUCHEL301. She saw his profile on JLove, thought he sounded interesting and emailed him.

It was up to Bram to make the next move. He decided he would look at her profile and if it appealed to him he would email her back...and he did.

"Her profile looked interesting except that she lived in New Jersey and I live in Israel," he said. But to Bram's surprise, Ruchel was already in the process of making aliya.

"I decided to at least be polite and reply back to her email." They emailed back and forth a few times until Bram picked up the phone and called Ruchel in New Jersey. It was the first of many long-distance phone calls. But despite the seven hour time difference, Bram and Ruchel made it a priority to speak everyday.

About a month after their initial correspondence, Bram mentioned to Ruchel that he would be traveling to England at the end of October to visit his family. Ruchel saw his trip as a great opportunity for them to finally meet. So, she flew to England and joined him for a few days.
"We had five great days together and on the last day we talked seriously about marriage," he said.

Bram proposed to Ruchel in England in October. The couple plan to wed in Israel early in the New Year.

"Thank you JLove. What more can I say," he said.

"Thank you for helping me find my soul mate," she added.
