Description: When Life Takes a Turn: The Inspiring Story of Tania & Amit Friedlander | Stories of Hope PodcastIn this deeply moving episode of Stories of Hope, we sit down with Tania and Amit Friedlander—a couple whose journey has been marked by remarkable resilience, courage, and unwavering faith.Tania shares her powerful roots, growing up in Austria as the daughter of a Holocaust survivor who escaped on the last train out of Lviv at just 16 years old. Her childhood was shaped by both cultural richness and painful antisemitism, yet she found healing and strength in unexpected places—from table tennis competitions to her eventual path toward a life of Torah.Amit, raised in New York, opens up about his own path to spiritual growth, his cancer diagnosis linked to 9/11, and ultimately, a shocking diagnosis of early-onset Parkinson’s disease just seven years into their marriage—with three small children and a fourth on the way.Together, Tania and Amit walk us through their emotional, spiritual, and physical battles—and the decisions they made to keep joy at the center of their lives. From dancing in their living room to creating a home minyan, this couple is redefining what it means to live with purpose and faith in the face of adversity.This is not just a story about illness—it’s a story about choosing life, over and over again.To get in touch you can email: Tania.friedlander@gmail.comAmit.Friedlander@gmail.comTo contact Tzipora Grodko with suggestions, comments or questions, you can email: SOH@meaningfulminute.org or message her on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tziporagrodko This episode was brought you in part by:___________________________This episode was brought you in part by:►PZ DealsDownload The PZ Deals App and Never Pay Full Price Againhttps://app.pz.deals/install/soh___________________________► Colel Chabad Pushka App - The easiest way to give Tzedaka https://pushka.cc/__________________________►Pizza BizaDelight your guests with our expansive menu and a culinary experience that exceeds expectations.https://www.pizzabiza.com___________________________► Lalechet We're a team of kosher travel experts, here to carry you off to your dream destination swiftly, safely, and seamlessly in an experience you will forever cherish.https://www.lalechet.com
