Welcome to our new members! David and Sarah Kravitz
We’re Sarah and David Kravitz! We’ve escaped Washington D.C. and come to Columbus for the lovely community, or as David likes to say - so we can meet you! Sarah is finishing her PhD in Human Development and is an expert crafter. David is a technical project manager and a semi-retired stand up comedian (D.C. is a sensitive crowd). Our Cowboys-Eagles mixed marriage has lasted 3 years, and half of us have really enjoyed the rivalry. We’re avid board game enthusiasts in search of a new gaming crew, so if you like 3 hour board games, please come talk to us!
Sam, Noa, Yakira, Amitai and Tamar Weisbrod
The history of Family Weisbrod is as storied as it is mysterious. Whilst some are knowledgeable of the lore surrounding the family’s origins in the frozen Canadian Tundra, only few are privileged to the details of the truth. The dark truth. It is documented that Sam “McGillacutty” Weisbrod emerged from the womb fully grown at a whopping 6”6, and some have even reported observing him wear platform shoes. A Chicago native, Tamar Becker inherited the mantle of G-d Mother when she succeeded her grand father Al Capone at the head of the family business. Upon moving to Columbus, she has already expanded her empire by amalgamating the infamous “Kia Boys” into her fold. Amitai (Aged 9 years, sherry oak cask) can draw a comic of just about anything, whilst his little sister Noa (4 years old) somersaults her way straight into your heart. Baby Yakira smiles and goobers on innocently enough, but there is much mischief behind the facade. Still waters run deep. And of course, we don’t talk about Bruno. The Weisbrods are delighted to be in Columbus, and are looking very forward to meeting you.
