As she reached young adulthood\, Cheri sought answers to the bigger questions of life. Delving into her Jewish roots\, she found answers. During a year spent at Stern College in New York immersing herself in Jewish learning\, she began experiencing bizarre\, debilitating symptoms\, which progressed until she found herself unable to speak or to walk normally. Thus began her two-year journey to a proper diagnosis\, ultimately identified as the movement disorder dystonia musculorum deformans. Having no choice in the matter\, Cheri went on with her life. She fell in love\, married\, obtained a bachelor s degree in psychology from UCLA and a master’s degree in human development from Pacific Oaks College\, had three miracle children\, pursued her eclectic artistic talents\, learned to play the harp\, became a grandmother\, and along the way learned how to live\, love\, cry\, and overcome with a serious disability. Today Cheri lives in Efrat\, Israel with her husband Harvey. \n\n\nSPECIAL NOTE FROM CHERI TANNENBAUM:  This program was pre-recoded prior to October 7\, so there is no mention of anything that is happening in Israel because of the current Matzav. \nTo update our viewers on my family\, my younger daughter. son-in-law and three children went to Cleveland on shlichut in August 2023.  After October 7\, my son-in-law got called in by the IDF\, and he returned to guarding the Lebanonese border\, which he did for 6 weeks. All I could think about was how his wife and children were coping without him\, and how his newborn didn’t know what her father’s touch was. He finally was able to return to Cleveland\, but it was only for a week and a half! I thought to myself\, he is part of the miluim (army reserves)\, and he is also an out -of-town shaliach.  He could have prioritized to stay with his family and do his shlichut work\, but his dedication to his country came first\, and he went back to the Lebanonese border. It is not an easy decision\, but if everyone prioritized their family over fighting for our country\, there would be no soldiers and no protection. \nMy son\, Simcha\, is a Rav on a paratrooper base. He is in charge of the spiritual religious aspects of the soldiers and provides them with tefillin and tzizit.  He makes sure there is an eruv and a Sefer Torah in the shetach and a myriad of other duties. He gives chizzuk to the soldiers who are going in and to the soldiers who are leaving as well as a shoulder to cry and lean on. \nThis is our life now.  We sometimes get sirens. Our safe room is in our apartment in Efrat. My older daughter\, son-in-law  and their 6 children and a dog run from upstairs to our safe room downstairs.  Usually\, 3 of them are crying hysterically and we all try to stay calm and soothe them.  Despite all that is happening\, I am home. Israel is my country\, and I have no doubt that Israel will prevail like it is has always done.   Am Yisrael Chai! \n\nClick here to order Woman of Few Words  from Amazon. \nThis program is dedicated to the memory of  Moshe Ben Dov Ber (Melvin Steinig) z”l and Shayna Mirel bas Aharon (Mirele Steinig)  z”l. \nREGISTRATION:  This program has been pre-recorded and will be available to registrants prior to January 9\, 11 am EST.  There will be no live program on January 9.

She then delves into the ups and downs of dating\, the tug-of-war she feels between men she may date and those who are off-limits\, her heartfelt attempts (conventional and not) to change her fate\, and her poignant struggles with God through it all. Thoughtful and humorous\, this page-turner draws the reader in. \nUnmatched by Sarah Lavane shines the spotlight on the “unmatched” in a manner one can’t ignore. \n\nJewish Action compared Unmatched to an “immersive experience of a visitor to a museum of the blind.” The reader is plunged into Sarah’s environment with all its raging emotions.\nNamed one of the “Six Best Books of the Year” by The Jewish Link\nThe Algemeiner called Unmatched “one of the best books on Jewish dating you will ever read… will force you to look at single people in a new and more compassionate way.”\nHas touched readers of all stripes – matched\, unmatched\, Jewish\, and not.\nThis memoir is a must-read for the currently “unmatched\,” anyone who’s ever wondered\, “Why isn’t so-and-so married?” and readers who enjoy memoirs that give insight into the human condition.\n\nPlease join this exclusive interview to understand why this memoir has moved so many readers! \nFor more information about Unmatched\, please visit https://www.unmatchedstory.com/ \nClick here to register for the Zoom link.  This session is only available live — it will not be recorded. \nClick here to order Unmatched from AMAZON. \n  \nCORPORATE SPONSORS:   \nMEMORY MATTERS — https://renayudkowsky.com/signature-course/ \nCAPITIL REAL ESTATE — https://capitil.com/ \nMEDICARE INSURANCE SPECIALIST — https://www.65andready.com/ \nFORSPANKLEAR\, LLP — https://www.forspanklear.com/ \nWINSTON WEALTH ADVISORS — https://www.winstonwealthadvisors.com/ou-spirit \nSCHWARTZ BROTHERS JEFFER/SINAI CHAPEL/PARKSIDE MEMORIAL CHAPELS — https://www.dignitymemorial.com/funeral-homes/forest-hills-ny/schwartz-brothers-jeffer-memorial-chapels/4131 \nCITIZENS BANK — https://lo.citizensbank.com/nj/woodcliff-lake/david-siegel \nJRESPONDER — https://www.sosresponder.com/ \n____________________________________________________________________ \nWe have created a new SPIRIT website with archives and upcoming programs!
