 The one story that we heard was that she was sent to Cuba on an arranged marriage. The legendary family story is that then she was living with an uncle. This was her one relative in Cuba. There was a hallway where she would sit and play the oud and sing Sephardic songs, and that the man who became my grandfather, my grandfather Isaac, that he was walking along the street and heard her playing the oud, and that was what attracted him.
