Turned into a Widow by TerroristsMrs. Risa RotmanAuthor of Terror and Emunah in Har NofIt was a calm morning, and Mrs. Risa Rotman was looking forward to catching up on housework and errands. Instead she heard sirens. Sirens she tried to ignore until she couldn’t anymore. There had been a terrible terrorist attack in the Har Nof shul, directly down the block from her house. Men who had been davening there had been killed. Risa’s husband was one of the victims.Rabbi Rotman survived the actual attack but remained in a coma for a year. Risa remained dedicated to his care until he passed away.  She learned to juggle taking care of her sick husband with the responsibilities of being a single mother. And through it all, she felt herself growing closer and closer to Hashem. She was strongly encouraged by a good friend to keep a journal. “It will help you,” she insisted. The end result of that journal is her book, Terror and Emunah in Har Nof. The book is inspiring and so is its author. Listen as she talks about the terror and trauma she lived through and grew from.
