["Sapir, will you marry me?" sign atop Yad Sarah House in Jerusalem.]


When Yonatan Cohen first set eyes upon Sapir Sasson at Yad Sarah, he decided he would have to find a way to get acquainted with her.  He set up a sting operation—actually made her computer malfunction—so she would be forced to ask for his help. (He was a volunteer in the computer department, whereas she was doing her National Service in another department altogether).

One thing led to another and before long they were dating.  They had known each other for about a year when Yonatan decided it was time to “pop the question.”  After much planning and behind the scenes help from his friends he devised a unique proposal.  Everything went like clockwork:  he had invited Sapir on a date to a park across the street from the Yad Sarah headquarters and arranged with his friends to lower the sign proposing marriage from the roof of the Yad Sarah building while he and Sapir were sitting in the park.  “While Sapir stared at the sign in utter amazement, I bent down on one knee and asked her to marry me, and she agreed!”  The ecstatic couple plan to stand under the “chuppah” before the year’s end.
