Summary
Journalist Nikki Goldstein chronicles her spiritual transformation following a near-death experience, sharing how a rabbi she had never met stood by her ICU bedside, prayed over her, and sparked a miraculous recovery. Nikki and Rabbi Eli Schlanger formed an extraordinary friendship while co-authoring their book, Conversations with My Rabbi:Timeless Teachings for a Fractured World. After Rabbi Eli was tragically killed in a terror attack during a Hanukkah celebration on Bondi Beach in 2025, Nikki was steadfast in her mission to complete their project and ensure his message of light and goodness survives.
