Rabbi
Alicia Magal, spiritual leader of the Jewish Community of Sedona and the Verde
Valley, and author of “From Miracle to Miracle: A Story of Survival" feels very
lucky for the gift of life. Her mother, Nika Kohn Fleissig, was the sole
Holocaust survivor of her family. This story will come to life in an interactive
presentation by Rabbi Magal on
Sunday July 28 at 4 p.m.at the synagogue, 100
Meadowlark in Sedona.
Explore
this bitter time in history--you may never take life for granted
again.
The
Rabbi's mother has an amazing story to tell: her large family was decimated
during the Holocaust. Nika, a Sedona winter resident, survived the Second World
War as a young Jewish woman in Poland and Germany and began a new life in
America in 1946. Nika, together with her
daughter, Rabbi Magal, recently returned to Krakow and Warsaw in Poland, not as
tourists, but to make presentations based on their book which had just been
translated into Polish. This past week, Nika was honored at the 10th annual
Mary Magdalene Celebration
Sedona with a presentation of their Soul Sister Courage Award.
All
are invited to come for this stirring story. The presentation will also provide
historical information about the Nazi occupation of Poland, the Warsaw Uprising
of 1944, and liberation in 1945 which set the backdrop for Nika’s miraculous
survival and message of hope, with discussion to follow. Admission is free. You
will be able to purchase a copy of the English version of “From Miracle to
Miracle” during a book signing by the Rabbi. For more information, call 928
204-1286.
