Listen "Allegra's Story: From Flatline to Faith"
Episode Synopsis
This episode features Allegra, a mother of five whose life has been a testament to spiritual and physical resilience. Allegra’s journey began at just eight years old when a virus resulted in paralysis, sparking her first profound understanding of the connection between body and soul. This early experience set her on a spiritual path which led to her conversion to Judaism. Decades later, she faced another life-altering health crisis, this time a cardiac arrest that required open-heart surgery.In this powerful conversation, Allegra shares how these descents into physical illness led her to a spiritual ascent. She discusses finding unshakable trust in God (bitachon), the surprising lessons of her healing process, and the immeasurable support of a community that showed up when she needed it most. Her story is a moving exploration of faith, identity, and the profound wisdom that comes from facing mortality and choosing to live with a deeper sense of gratitude and purpose.
