We mourn the loss of an extraordinary human being, Dr. Edith Eger, a gifted psychologist, courageous Holocaust survivor, and a profound source of wisdom, resilience, and compassion. Through her extraordinary journey and her work, including her book The Choice, she transformed immense suffering into healing, hope, and inner freedom for people around the world. Her dedication to helping others has inspired the work of the Jewish Community Mental Health Initiative, and we will carry forward the lessons she shared about healing, inner freedom, and strength. We were honored to celebrate her legacy just a few months ago at the private screening of The Choice, where we welcomed her daughter to join our panel. It was a powerful reminder of the lasting impact of her story. We extend our deepest condolences to her family and loved ones. May her memory be a blessing. ❤️‍🩹
