What does it truly mean to face life's challenges with genuine joy? Meet Orly Koenig, a remarkable 10-year-old who transforms her daily struggles with cerebral palsy into opportunities for growth, laughter, and inspiration.

Born two months premature, Orly candidly shares her journey—from her diagnosis and multiple surgeries to her everyday life navigating the world sometimes on foot, sometimes by wheelchair, and often on her beloved electric scooter. With wisdom that defies her years, she reveals her secret to maintaining positivity: "Sometimes you don't feel like a normal kid because it's hard. But in life, things can be hard—you just have to keep pushing through."
Orly's approach to life's obstacles isn't about ignoring difficulties but reframing them through gratitude and purpose. 

Perhaps most touching is how Orly's joy becomes contagious. From distributing lollipops during hospital stays to volunteering at the gift shop while still a patient herself, she consistently turns personal hardship into opportunities to brighten others' lives. Her name "Orly," meaning "my light," perfectly captures her essence as someone who illuminates every room she enters.

As we approach Rosh Hashanah, Orly's story reminds us that crowning Hashem as King isn't done through fear or sadness, but through celebration and recognition of blessings. Join us for this heartwarming conversation that will leave you looking at your own challenges with fresh eyes and perhaps, like Orly, finding unexpected joy along the way.
