I was very moved by your poem. And will read over and over again.
Thank you for writing.

This is remarkable – powerful – brilliant -
I’ve known your mother and your Aunt Ruthie for many Westchester Hadassah years – and of course I knew and adored your other Grandmother, Margarete I never knew this piece of the family story –
with admiration and awe -

This is remarkable. You have always amazed me with your strength. Your Savta was unbelievable, and she would be so proud of you. Somehow you have risen above blindness and regained sight. I think it is safe to say that your words also transcend blindness. They are pure and true and moving beyond belief. You must understand that you have a talent and a spirit that shines through your poetry. You are not like the rest, Hannah Rose Alexander.

Wish I could have been there in Jerusalem when you performed this. A friend of mine who lives in Jerusalem happened to be in the audience and was blown away by your poem. I’m very proud of you. Wow!

Hannah is incredibly talented on so many levels, and watching her perform this poem is simply moving.
