SUMMARY:From Darkness to Light with Rabbi Leo Dee
DESCRIPTION:On April 7\, 2023\, Rabbi Leo Dee’s life was shattered when his wife Lucy and two of their daughters\, Maia (20) and Rina (15)\, were murdered in cold blood by Hamas terrorists.\nOut of this unimaginable loss\, Rabbi Dee chose a path of faith rather than despair\, becoming an inspirational public speaker in Israel and around the world.\nDrawing on deep wells of prayer\, trust in God\, and the belief that light can emerge from darkness\, he speaks movingly about suffering\, healing\, and hope.\nRabbi Dee brings a rare and powerful voice of faith\, intellect\, and hope to audiences seeking to understand faith-based resilience and the spiritual meaning of our times.
