"I teach myself to change the suffering to power", says Liora Tedgi.
Have you ever wondered how a simple act of kindness can ripple through communities and change lives? In this episode of 'The Goodness Chick', Erin Lawler Patterson explores the concept of 'Mitzvah' – a Hebrew term for doing good deeds – with her inspiring guest, Liora Tedgi. Liora is the founder of Ohr Meir & Bracha, a support centre for terror victims in Jerusalem. Her story is one of resilience, turning personal tragedy into a force for good.
After surviving a terror attack, Liora chose not to be consumed by despair but instead to transform her suffering into strength. She shares how her centre provides essential support to over 400 families affected by trauma, offering not just food but hope and community. Erin reflects on her own experiences, drawing parallels between Liora's journey and her personal battles with loss.
She emphasises the power of choice – how each of us can decide to spread kindness and create positive change. Erin encourages listeners to embrace the mindset of Mitzvah, suggesting that it not only benefits others but enriches our own lives too. This episode challenges you to consider your own response to life's hardships. Will you let them consume you, or will you transform them into opportunities for growth and kindness?
As we step into a new year, Erin prompts us to think about how we can 'get our Mitzvah on' and make a difference in the world around us. So, are you ready to be part of the kindness revolution?
