"... From this horrible tragedy [of expulsion], they are attempting to survive in the face of government hypocrisy, indifference and emotional and financial abuse. One of the very bright spots in this bleak picture is Shifra Shomron, a very talented writer whose lyrical style and depth are rare in one so young. I wish her great success." Dr. Miriam Adahan, Prolific author and founder of EMETT (Emotional Maturity Established Through Torah) |
