JENNIE HOREN, MY GRANDMOTHER'S MOTHER, DREAMT THAT
IT WAS A LIFE OR DEATH MATTER TO TAKE AN IMMEDIATE
TRIP TO NEW YORK. IT WAS A LONG AND EXPENSIVE TRIP
AND ALTHOUGH THE FAMILY COULD NOT AFFORD IT, SHE
WAS INSISTANT THAT SHE GO SEE HER BROTHER IN NEW YORK.
FINALLY, MY FATHER CONSENTED AND OFF SHE WENT TO NEW
YORK. THREE DAYS AFTER HER ARRIVAL IN NEW YORK, HER
BROTHER DIED. THIS WAS NOT THE ONLY OCCASION HER
DREAMS CAME TRUE.
