Fashion designer and single mother Marlene Kolangi shares how October 7 transformed her life — from comforting seminary girls during sirens to building a grassroots lifeline for children who lost parents in the war. Through relentless on-the-ground visits, monthly financial support, weekly Shabbat check-in calls, and the launch of Israel’s first play-therapy centers for affected families, she shows how “the power of one” can become a movement — and challenges every Jewish woman to bring her own light into a nation’s darkest hour.
