Mom was born in Marrakesh Morocco in 1951 to a family of Sephardic Jews that trace their ancestry to pre-inquisition Spain. With conditions worsening for Moroccan Jews during the 1960’s, her family emigrated on a secret overnight flight to Israel. In California she taught herself how to program computers and ended up a systems analyst for an international French corporation. She became a U.S. citizen a little before dad.
