Summary

Growing up in a Jewish family in Israel, I endured severe abuse from my father. My mother sought help from our congregation, but we were told that parents are allowed to discipline their children, leaving us to struggle for years. After my parents divorced, we distanced ourselves from the congregation entirely. In my teenage years and early 20s, I was angry at God, believing He didn’t exist or was unkind because of the pain I suffered. My journey to faith was a gradual process, focusing on forgiveness and healing. I learned to forgive my parents and others who hurt me, which liberated my heart and allowed me to form meaningful friendships for the first time. Now, living in Berlin for almost eight years, I work with Jews for Jesus, sharing the message of the Jewish Messiah and helping others find peace and forgiveness through Jesus.
