Rebbetzin Dena Schusterman is an author, educator, and sought after public speaker. She is the mother of eight, and a grandmother, who has been building a Jewish community and nurturing young families as the co-founder of Chabad Intown and Executive Director of Intown Jewish Preschool in Atlanta, GA.
A lifelong collector of stories, writing is how Rebbetzin Dena processes the world. Her writing explores the spirituality hidden within ordinary life. Her thoughts led her to pen a beautiful and meaningful memoir about her parents' remarkable story as young Chabad emissaries navigating the counterculture of Berkely, CA in the 1970's.
Rebbetzin Dena shares with us the many challenges that her parents went through as they left their families and established a Jewish community in northern California. The strength and resilience that her mother and father demonstrated under difficult circumstances was ultimately transferred to her. Rebbetzin Dena drew upon their strength as she and her husband established their own community at Chabad Intown.
Our conversation illustrates that our parents are selected, especially for us, by Hashem himself. Whether our childhood was blissful or dysfunctional, our parents plated within us seeds for our personal development. Every difficulty we had (or have) with our parents is Divinely ordained for our own personal growth.
