Weddings
It is with much nachas that we announce the recent wedding of our daughter, Madeleine Shira Elkins, to Tzachi Korzbart, in the Salt Lake City area. The wedding took place at Siempre in Draper, Utah. It was officiated by Chabad Rabbi Avremi Zippel.
Madeleine grew up in San Anselmo in Marin County and became a bat mitzvah at Congregation Rodef Sholom in San Rafael. Tzachi is originally from Petah Tikva, Israel. They met at a Simchat Torah celebration in Salt Lake City.
Madeleine, an educator, is a graduate of University of Arizona, and Tzachi, who works for a medical device company, received his master’s in business management at CUNY college.
Madeleine’s parents are Janet Lewis and Matt Elkins of Novato, who enjoyed the simcha with Tzachi’s parents, Hedva and Shlomi Korzbart, who traveled to Utah with other family members from Israel and England. Approximately 150 attended the wedding.
