Devorah Halberstam: The Day My 16-Year-Old Son Was Killed for Being Jewish


Listen Later

She Lost Her Son in a Terror Attack on the Brooklyn Bridge – Deborah Halberstam's Story In this deeply emotional and powerful episode, Deborah Halberstam shares the heartbreaking story of her son Ari Halberstam, a 16-year-old yeshiva student who was murdered in a 1994 terror attack on the Brooklyn Bridge.

Deborah recounts Ari's unique upbringing, his deep connection to the Lubavitcher Rebbe, and the chilling events leading up to the attack that took his life. She opens up about her personal grief, her years-long battle for justice, and how she transformed tragedy into activism—shaping counterterrorism policies and founding the Jewish Children's Museum in Ari's memory.

This is more than a story of loss—it's a story of strength, legacy, and the unwavering spirit of a mother who refused to let her son be forgotten.
