Welcome to the Altabet Family Website
This site preserves information about Robert Altabet’s Altabet and Magrisso families and the Gabay and Levy families, their history, and related projects. We also include information about Marcia’s Katz and Levy family background.
Much of the Sephardic educational material formerly hosted here has moved to the Sephardi Federation of Palm Beach County website, which we manage for the organization.
If you are an Altabet family member—or are researching the Altabet, Magrisso, Gabay, Levy, or Katz family names—we would be delighted to hear from you.
Our business website is AlphaBeta Planning. Although we are retired, the site preserves our professional background and serves as a résumé for occasional consulting projects, particularly in the disposable-battery field. We have also added our Ladino/Judeo-Spanish translation services.
Our Family Haggadah
Our custom family Haggadah has been revised several times based on comments from participants. Version 7 was completed for Passover 2009/5769. Putting together your own Haggadah is a wonderful way to get participants involved—I have gotten more involvement from "the critics" than I ever did before!
The Mystery of Mumya
For anyone who has ever pondered the curative powers of the folk remedy "mumya," follow the link to our Mumya page. My grandmother—and later my mother-in-law—talked about Mumya as a miracle cure, but neither would ever tell us exactly what it was.
I’ll set up a contact page shortly
