Gabriella Bigio Dahan, a Rabbanit in Athens and graduate of our Balaniot Course, who is now enrolled in the CER Kallah Teachers Course, shares:

“I’m so overwhelmed with emotions. Mostly grief. But I want to focus on the beautiful memory and now closure of Eliya Cohen’s mother, Sigi, whom we met in Israel in the Balaniot ceremony.
I’m so glad we had the zchut to meet her, and I’m overjoyed seeing her and her family welcoming Eliya back.”
