About this episode
Rifki Holtzberg shares her journey of adapting to life with a disability and the support of her family and faith.
Rifki Holtzberg, born without legs in Brooklyn, shares her journey of adapting to life and overcoming challenges. She credits her parents for instilling confidence and independence. Rifki discusses her experiences in high school, where lack of accessibility made her feel different. She works full-time in marketing and enjoys party planning, despite physical limitations. Dating has been difficult, with people often judging her based on her appearance rather than her personality. Rifki actively participates in her family's Chabad activities, hosting around 200 people weekly. She drives independently using modified cars and remains hopeful for the future, relying on faith and family support.
