Shaena Cantor Abramowitz, an educational leader and mother, shares her remarkable journey from her Modern Orthodox upbringing in New Jersey to living on the Arugot Farm in Israel.

Shaena discusses her experiences of making Aliyah, the challenges of finding her bashert at 37, and her unique life raising three young children on a hilltop in the Judean hills.

She also touches on the hardships and miracles related to fertility treatment, living through the Intifada, and the current Israeli war.

Despite the adversities, Shaena and her husband Ari find deep meaning and purpose in their unconventional life.

This heartfelt conversation provides listeners with inspiration and a profound insight into resilience, faith, and the power of community.
