Seeking a Cutting of Einstein’s Begonia

This is a great article. Thank you. I am hoping it might be possible to obtain a cutting from Einstein’s begonia. Let me briefly explain why.

My mother and her siblings grew up in Princeton. My grandfather, Isadore Braveman, had a jewelry shop in town and was a founding member of The Jewish Center. I suspect because of they were both ardent Zionists, Dr. Einstein and my grandfather became friends. According to a book about Dr. Einstein, his watch was kept running by a “Jewish jeweler”; that was my grandfather. (He also repaired the wood clock in the old Nassau Inn.) Einstein actually wrote a letter of recommendation for my uncle to get into medical school. My mother used to tell us stories of visiting his home and us sitting on his lap. I only wish I had a photo.

Anyway, hopefully you can understand why I have an affinity for Dr. Einstein. It certainly isn’t physics, which I am nowhere near smart enough to understand. And hopefully you can understand as well why having a piece of that plant would be quite significant to me.

If it would be possible for me to get in touch with someone who has a plant originating from Einstein’s Begonia and might be willing to share a cutting with me, I would greatly appreciate it (contact harry.dreier@gmail.com).

Also, I saw the mention of the musical “Einstein’s Begonia” in the comments and would love to see the show. Are there any plans for future performances?
