From Darkness to Bloom

For much of my life, I felt like I was walking alone. I carried the weight of grief, abandonment, and addiction, and there were years when community felt like something I could only dream about. In those depths, I learned what it meant to reach out from hell itself — to find, piece by piece, the power of self-love and the courage to begin again.

When I got married, I believed everything would feel whole. Instead, I found that the responsibilities of running a home and caring for others quickly took over, and guilt crept in whenever I carved out time for myself. But on the rare occasions I did — whether sharing a quiet moment with a friend, sitting in the Mercaz alone with my ice coffee, or simply breathing in the fresh air of the beach — I realized how life-giving it was. Those moments of connection filled me in ways I hadn’t known I needed.

Bloomwood Society was born from that realization. From the truth that women need community — not as a luxury, but as a lifeline. We need places where we can show up as ourselves, where we can speak and listen and laugh with abandonment because nobody else needs our focus right then. We need to remember that self-love isn’t selfish; it’s what allows us to keep giving, with joy instead of depletion.

What Bloomwood Offers:

Bloomwood gatherings are warm, welcoming, and designed with care. Through them, women discover:

• The practice of gratitude, as a way to see Hashem’s kindness in the everyday.

• Opportunities to learn and create, whether through workshops, classes, or shared experiences.

• True connection, building friendships and support systems that last beyond the event itself.

My Vision

My journey taught me that life can rise from ashes, that gratefulness can transform pain, and that love — for ourselves and for others — is the most powerful force we have. Bloomwood Society is the place where I now share that truth. It’s where I bring women together to remember that we are stronger, brighter, and more whole when we walk this path side by side.

Bloomwood isn’t just a community. It’s my story, now opening into our story. And I would love for you to be part of it.

The Bloomwood Society’s base is in Ramat Beit Shemesh Alef and Jerusalem. Specialty events will be held in other Israeli locales.
