Abraham "Zachariah" Zhang
On his 13th birthday, he’d have a bar mitzvah. And so, in his teen years, although he is Jewish and isn't ashamed, he is only spiritual, does his best in his studies, and gets good grades. And so, once he turned 16, he and his family would visit Israel for religious reasons, and while there, they learned Hebrew but never applied for citizenship. After they returned, Abraham would meet Zipporah, now his wife, and start dating. And so, at age 18, he chose to return to Israel once he finished high school at the top of his class to become a soldier in the IDF, which he did and received citizenship. And so, after finishing high school, he moved to Israel, with the Rabbi confirming he was Jewish. He’d start his service in the ground forces, joining the 84th "Givati" Brigade. He was sent to be in the 432nd "Tzabar" (Cactus) Infantry Battalion, given the M16 rifle. During this time he served during Operation Protective Edge and fought against Hamas. He would soon after return to Seattle Washington.
Abraham applied to University of Washington School of Medicine, where he began his studies for a doctorate in medicine focusing on psychiatry. During that time, he’d also met a few people who became good friends during his second year and married soon after. Once they Married, they bought a house, started their careers, and had their firstborn son, Solomon, at the age of 21. And so, at age 23, he had his second son, Joshua. And at 25 their daughter, Ruth was born. After his residency, He resumed work in the hospital as an in-patient Psychiatrist.
