In September 2022, I was given hours to live. A rabbi I’d
never met whispered prayers over my near-lifeless
body in the ICU, and something shifted. Miraculously, I
survived. This is the truest thing I’ve ever written.
The story of a near-death survival, an unexpected
friendship with a rabbi, and his tragic death on the
glazed sands of Sydney’s Bondi Beach that changed
everything.
