## Resource

On this week’s episode of Stories of Hope, host Tzipora Grodko sits down with Ronni and Gavriel Rabin — a couple whose love story feels like it was written in Heaven. She was a divorced grandmother rediscovering herself. He was a widower, a Vietnam veteran, a convert to Judaism, and absolutely not looking for love. But one unexpected phone call — sparked by a charity donation — set off a chain of events neither of them could have imagined. What followed? Lightning-bolt moments, cross-country conversations, a first meeting straight out of a movie, and a love that blossomed at ages 79 and 67. Their journey spans Montana cabins with no electricity, spiritual awakenings, deep loss, and ultimately, a miraculous second chance at love. This is a story about timing, faith, courage… and the magic that happens when you stay open to the unexpected.
