The Women’s Division of Emet Outreach was privileged to welcome Maya Namdar of Maya’s Place as guest speaker for the launch of their ten-week spring semester of Step It Up and Step Into Prayer. Held at Congregation Machane Chodosh in Forest Hills, the evening drew a motivated crowd eager to hear words of inspiration from Maya about her daughter Liel Dina, a”h. Liel was 15 when she passed away in a car accident in December of 2021. Since then, Maya, her husband Efraim, and their children have taken their tragedy and rallied klal Yisrael to “Live for Liel” in her z’chus. “The Namdars have brought so much positivity and light into the world in memory of Liel,” said Sara B., Program Director. “We wanted to energize the girls at the start the semester, and Maya was the perfect person to do so with lessons from Liel.”
