Stories Of Hope With Tzipora Grodko

“My creativity was my rebellion,” Nechama shares as she bravely opens up about her struggles. She felt out of place, disheartened, and unsure of how to express herself while navigating the challenges of the shidduch world.  Wrestling with an unclear relationship with Judaism, Nechama made the bold decision to return to Israel to relearn what most have already been taught. There, she began to rebuild her connection to her faith, finding a renewed sense of love and pride.  

She couldn’t have imagined the extraordinary path ahead. Through a series of remarkable Divine interventions, she met Yehuda—playing the banjo in the lively streets of the shuk, and than again, on a shabbaton that she was never meant to attend. 

Nechama, 27, from Lakewood, NJ, and Yehuda, 23, from Miami, FL have a story that is a captivating journey of faith, resilience, and unexpected love.
