“He said to me, ‘The day you leave me is the day you will die.’”
Malka, a descendant of an honorable Jewish family, was forced at a young age to be married against her will. In a series of dangerous and secret missions, she and her children were rescued by Yad L’Achim and taken to safety.
Malka was married to an Arab man, trapped in her own home. She had no way to get out of the situation. Her children were constantly at risk, and she was constantly at risk. There was no one to turn to, no one to help her, no one to save her. She was beaten, stabbed, and threatened with murder—until Yad L’Achim rescued her.
Malka’s story is unlike any you have ever heard, and now those in the Florida area have the opportunity to hear her live, in person, as she is coming to Florida for the first time. Beginning Monday, February 13, Malka will be speaking live in many locations throughout Florida (see details below or at YadLachimTour.com). Her tale of triumph over darkness and evil is transformational.
Unfortunately, Malka is one of many Jewish women trapped in Arab villages. These young Jewish girls, often from troubled backgrounds, are groomed by Arab men, who may be posing as Jews. They offer the girls gifts and attention, which soon turns to terror. Women in these marriages are routinely subjected to depraved violence and abuse. The years pass, and their children are raised as Arab Muslims and taught to hate Jews.
“It is almost impossible for a Westerner to imagine how totally trapped they are,” says Rabbi Yossi Eliav, director of special projects at Yad L’Achim and organizer of the tour. “Some live like prisoners, without access to a phone or even the freedom to go outside.”
“One woman did not have access to a phone for 32 years and had no way to call for help,” says Rabbi Nesanel Gantz, director of Yad L’Achim in America.
Yad L’Achim, founded in 1950, has rescued thousands of these imprisoned women and their children. The operations are conducted with the utmost secrecy, as the lives of the women, their children, and all operatives are at high risk.
Once the women and children are free, Yad L’Achim provides them with safe shelter and supports their reintegration into society. The number of Jewish women and children trapped in these conditions today numbers in the thousands.
“People aren’t aware how many hundreds of girls are drawn into these nightmare scenarios each year,” says Rabbi Eliav. “Our mission is to show their plight to the world and save as many lives as we can.”
Malka’s story is truly unlike any you have heard before. In fact, when she shared it on a Zoom call with the Yad L’Achim staff in America in preparation for her live events, everyone was brought to tears. The events will also feature an incredible video of a rescue as well as a surprise guest.
