SURFSIDE Bettina Obias never missed a chance to attend one of her beloved aunt s family get-togethers.
On June 24, Obias arrived at Miami International Airport on an early-morning flight from her home in Washington, D.C., for one of those reunions. Upon landing, Obias learned through a text that part of the Champlain Towers South building – where her aunt and uncle, Maricoy Obias Bonnefoy and Claudio Bonnefoy, shared a 10th-floor apartment – had collapsed overnight.

Without the aid of illustrations, readers have relied on the power of their imaginations to visualize the dramas that unfold throughout the Torah.
