Some stories sound like only Hollywood could script them. Michal Weinstein’s is one of them, except every word of it is true.
Michal and I have a special connection. My sister-in-law, one of my best friends for the last 22 years, was Michal’s best friend growing up. So when Michal sat down with me in Jerusalem to share her story on The Jamie Geller Show, it felt like we were finally getting to know each other for real.
On the morning of February 10, 1986, a few weeks before Michal’s 10th birthday, her father stopped on his way out the door, knelt down at her bus stop and gave her a hug. A tight, unusual hug she never forgot. He never came home.
For 19 years, her family lived without answers. No funeral. No shiva. No grave to visit. Then, when Michal was 36 weeks pregnant with her third child, the FBI knocked on her mother’s door.
What happened next? I’ll let Michal tell you.
But this conversation is about so much more than a mystery. Where was God during 19 years of silence? How do you build the life you’ve always dreamed of when your own story has no ending? And what is the one simple step Michal says is the secret to manifesting your dreams?
Her story is riveting, dramatic and, in the end, triumphant. Because as Michal told me, “My story is not who I am. It’s a story that happened to me.”
