Rabbi Stephen Carr Reuben writes about Judith Jenya’s book:
“Dodging a bullet in besieged Sarajevo, fighting hatred and prejudice, and consoling a troubled teen victim of wartime rape are among the incidents recounted in this inspiring story of one woman’s work to help children of war and violence. Judith Jenya is the recipient of many awards for her groundbreaking work on peace and healing. She recounts the fascinating stories of what it took to start, fund, and organize Global Children’s organization and create summer camps bringing together children from opposing sides during the war in a country she had only visited once. Judith shares her joys and triumphs as well as some of the many obstacles and roadblocks, both literal and metaphoric, she worked through.“
Judith writes about her experiences with orphans in Russia, and founding and directing summer camps for children of war in Bosnia, Croatia, Northern Ireland, and elsewhere. She is a painter, peace activist, and works with non-profits in San Miguel de Allende, where she has lived since 2006.
Doors open at 2:30 p.m.
