13-year-old Koby Mandell, born in Silver Spring, Maryland, was a victim of Palestinian terrorism. On May 8, 2001, Koby and his best friend Yoseph Ishran decided to do the Huck Finn thing and skip school to go hiking in the Judean desert. However, the punishment was not worth the crime—both Koby’s and Yoseph’s bodies were found in a cave outside their families’ community of Tekoa. They had been so brutally murdered that investigators needed dental records to identify the bodies.
What Koby’s mother and father have done with their enormous pain is incredibly beautiful. Through a foundation in their son’s name, they have created healing for scores and scores of the brothers and sisters, sons and daughters, and mothers and fathers of the victims of Palestinian terrorism. As Sherri Mandell said once, “They take their pain and they turn it into more pain and death. We take our pain and we turn it into healing and love.”
Please join this remarkable woman to describe her love for Koby and the work of the Koby Mandell Foundation on Tuesday, April 13th at 12:00 EDT.
