At just 17, Amanda’s world shattered with the tragic loss of her best friend. The years that followed were marked by grief, depression, and a search for deeper meaning. Something shifted finally during a conversation with a Rabbi on a trip to Israel - a step toward something that began to fill that inner void and offer her new purpose. Then, another trial: a cancer diagnosis. Through it all, her new worldview and the support of her Rabbi and newfound community got her through. Now cancer-free and deeply rooted in her faith, Amanda shares her journey of grief, healing, and the eternal wisdom of chassidus that changed everything.
