After a hundred years of being stored in sealed drawers, Gil Hovav published in the book 'To Love in Hebrew' the love letters of his grandparents: Lea Abushdid, the Sephardi, the most beautiful of the daughters of Jerusalem, nicknamed 'Flower of Flowers,' and Itamar Ben Avi, the Ashkenazi, nicknamed 'Prince of Judah.' In the lecture, Hovav talks about the first romance conducted in Hebrew after two thousand years, the ethnic tension that almost thwarted the marriage, endless romance, and also about redemption.
