Anything But Traditional

Navigating Strength in the Face of Terrorism: Sarri Singer


Listen Later

On June 11, 2003, Sarri Singer was on Bus 14 in Jerusalem when an 18-year-old Palestinian terrorist dressed as a religious Jew boarded and blew himself up.

17 people were killed, including all those seated and standing around her, and over 100 people were injured. Sarri was hospitalized for two weeks and then returned to New Jersey to be with family.

Her story became high profile. She appeared on television stations such as CBS, FoxNews, CNN, and radio interviews. She spoke before Congressmen and Senators in Washington, D.C., and politicians in New York and New Jersey.

In September 2003 she returned to work and volunteering in Israel. In June 2004, she returned to the United States to take care of ongoing medical issues associated with her attack.

Sarri is the Founder and Director of Strength to Strength (www.stosglobal.org), which focuses on bringing together victims of terrorism together from around the world and assisting with long-term psychological needs.

Sarri has addressed audiences throughout the United States, Canada, Europe, South America, and Israel and continues to share her unique insight into the ongoing struggle for victims of terror in Israel and around the world.

Now, in this episode, she addresses the Anything But Traditional community.
