English translation

Itamar Ben Avi, Eliezer Ben Yehuda's son was born in a house across
the street from the Ethiopian church. Itamar was a handsome young
romantic man. One day he saw Lea and fell in love with her. Lea was a
16 year old beautiful girl. Leah's family was a very rich Sephardic
family. Itamar wrote letters to Lea, but Lea's mother did not give
Itamar's letters to Lea. Lea's mother did not approve this love, because
Itamar came from a poor Ashkenazi family.
But Itamar loved Lea very much. He had a Hebrew newspaper and
every week he would write love letters and poems for Lea in the
newspaper. All the people in Jerusalem were talking about Itamar's love
to Lea, and Lea's mother was very embarrassed. She did not have a
choice and agreed that Lea and Itamar would meet.
Lea and Itamar got married and lived happily together for many years.
