The Love Story of Jules and Julianne Hirsch

They got married and had two children, and now have several grandchildren. They have been going to the same synagogue for over 50 years, where Jules eventually became a cantor. Jules still participates in synagogue services by playing the shofar, an ancient instrument made from a ram’s horn.
