Thank you Chana for interviewing Rosie!! I gained much inspiration from listening to her. I am 76 yrs old with a condition called bronciectasis. A chronic lung condition with many challenges. Hearing her speak of her Chassidic perspective is so reinforcing!!! Btw. are her grandparents Ruchi and Gershon in Minnesota? Reply
