Not many people know this but our story kind of began during Covid lockdown in 2020 when Tovael noticed "a hot guy dancing" on Ilai's Zoom dance class. Tovael took a quick video of him, wondered who he was, and then quickly forgot about him.

Fast forward to 16th February 2022 where Tovael got on a flight from London to Los Angeles to attend Camp Shelanu - an Israeli Dance camp that she received a scholarship to attend. She didn't know anyone there, apart from Ilai who came as a choreographer. We both attended Orly's pre-camp dance class but didn't notice each other.

Two days later on 18th February 2022 at Brandeis in Simi Valley, the dance camp began with a welcome reception. After a few drinks and nibbles we ended up standing next to each other. We said hi, introduced ourselves and then spent the entire weekend dancing with each other.

The day after the camp finished, Jason took Tovael out on a date in Venice Beach, LA. This is when Tovael suddenly remembered that the video she took of some "random hot guy on Zoom" was actually a video of Jason.

For the next 2 years, we spoke every single day. We travelled the world, taking advantage of our remote jobs and meeting in different countries such as Mexico, Colombia, Italy, The Netherlands, Israel, England and the US.

After a 2 year long-distance relationship, Tovael took a flight to San Francisco in February 2024 with the intention of staying.

One week later we attended Camp Shelanu and on 18th February 2024 (notice the same date) Jason proposed at the place they met.

And now we're here. Celebrating our love story in our favourite place in the world! We can't wait to celebrate with you in Israel!
