Anyone who's met Inbal Freund can't help but be blown away by her passion, strength of character and commitment. Most of us get to experience that in our encountering her as the executive director of Mavoi Satum, as a steering committee member at the PresenTense Institute, or from her involvement in Kol Dor. (Or any of the hundred other things she's involved with. Don't even ask.) But somehow, some way, she found the time to date and get engaged!
A couple of weeks ago, Inbal proudly told me of her engagement to lawyer Yoel Novick, and shared a few details via instant messaging that she's allowed me to share with you:
He made aliyah 12 years ago - and after he passed both BAR exams of Israel and New York...went to the army--a Zionist. We met 12 years ago when he made aliyah and I came to ra'anana with my family. We saw each other again a few months ago at a party and Yoel said "you look familiar" which was true. Both of us remembered that conversation 12 years ago."
I pointed out that 12 years ago, engagement would have been inappropriate. "It was worth waiting," Inbal wrote, ending her sentence with one of these:

Kol hakavod to Inbal on her impressive work this year with Mavoi Satum, and mazal tov to the happy couple!
