Mrs. Devorie Kreiman, who served as the principal of Bais Rebbe Junior High School in Los Angeles for 12 years, will be a featured speaker at the upcoming Kinus Hashluchos, the annual convention of Chabad women on Shlichus.
Taking place in Brooklyn, NY, in connection with the yartzeit of Rebbetzin Chaya Mushka Schneerson OBM, wife of the Rebbe, the 4 day conference will unite Shluchos and some of their community members from around the globe.
Kreiman, an educational consultant and leader of teacher training workshops in Los Angeles and New York and the author of The Bas Mitzva Notebook, will be speaking at the Kinus Melava Malka and Motzoei Shabbos program held at Oholei Torah.
Titled “Making Each Day Count As A Step Toward The Next One,” she will share some of the extraordinary challenges and losses she has faced, the organizers of Merkos L’inyonei Chinuch said.
She will relate how she gleans inspiration and strength to overcome the impossible using bitachon as a vaulting pole to turn challenges into accomplishments, they said in an email to Shluchos.
Her 23-year-old son Yossi Kreiman, an ordained rabbi and a chosson at the time, passed away almost 3 years ago in an accident.
Drawing on faith and humor, his mother has since been speaking about her personal journey and how one can stand up and live life in the face of helplessness and deep sadness.
Here is her talk at the National Jewish Retreat:
may we only merit the coming of Moshiach SPEEDILY IN OUR DAYS!!!!!!!!
Mrs. Kreiman —this is remarkable on all levels—from your ability to actually move forward and somehow transcend all that you have been thru, to be able to actually speak about your challenges in a way that can touch everyone who hears you. After listening to this amazing speech, I felt empowered to overcome of all of my own challenges. This is your extraordinary gift to all of us. May you be blessed with ONLY nachas, gezunt and revealed blessings from here on.!!
Please know that you have helped me enormously to endure the pain of my loss. You need to know the great inspiration and effect of your talk. Additionally the gift of presentation you have must not be witheld by a sense of humility; you would be holding back a meal from the hungry. I’m glad to hear that you will be the main speaker at the Shluchos convention.
Thank you for the super lift. May the Ribono Shel Olam bring you and your husband and family joy in FORMS THAT YOU WISH FOR.
