  "account": "Sandy and Rosalie Goldstein, a centenarian Jewish couple, made aliyah from New Jersey to Netanya in March 2023. Sandy will turn 105 next week, while Rosalie turns 101 in January. They will be celebrating their 79th wedding anniversary next month. Sitting in their Netanya apartment, they recounted their life stories, aliyah experience, and thoughts on Israel. Despite the scorching heat, the couple remains cool and composed, Rosalie dressed in a cream-colored jacket with a red patterned blouse, and Sandy in a white textured sweater. The Goldsteins' story is not just remarkable but compelling, as both are far beyond the typical age for aliyah.",
  "summary": "Sitting in their apartment on a sweltering summer afternoon, bowed by old age but not broken, Sandy and Rosalie tell the story of their lives, their aliyah, and their future.",
