The Love Story of Jules and Julianne Hirsch

Jules and Julianne Hirsch first met when Jules, a musician, noticed that the bill in a restaurant had his name on it. They were attracted to each other because of their love for music. 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.
