Eden Gefner: Surviving October 7th

iHeartPodcasts
About this episode

One year ago, the world watched in horror as terrorists attacked Israel and its people. But some experienced the terror firsthand, including this week’s guest, Eden Gefner. On this special, timely episode of She Pivots - released in on one-year anniversary of the horrific attacks - Eden recounts her life growing up in Israel and what’s changed in the past year. She gives voice to the underreported personal story of what it was like to survive the terrorist attacks and how Israelis are living in the wake of the tragedy.

 

She Pivots was created by host Emily Tisch Sussman to highlight women, their stories, and how their pivot became their success. To learn more about Eden, follow us on Instagram @ShePivotsThePodcast or visit shepivotsthepodcast.com.
