Israeli-American author, mother and activist; founder of The Koby Mandell Foundation

Koby Mandell was a good boy. One day he acted a bit out of character and skipped school to hike in the canyon near his home. That decision cost him his life. Koby, just thirteen years old, was cruelly killed by Arab terrorists. 

His mother Sherri had to learn how to live in a new world, a world in which her son was no longer present. The pain she experienced was intense.  In her book The Road to Resilience, Sherri teaches us that we can get through the most painful situations. It doesn’t mean we won’t feel the pain. But with the right support, we can be okay.

Hear how Mrs. Sherri Mandell took her heartbreaking experience and used it as the impetus for creating the Koby Mandell Foundation. Listen as she shares how she learned to find her resilience. Be inspired at the strength that a grieving mother demonstrates.
