Dr Elay Golan, a mother from Kfar Aza who risked her life to protect her 18-month-old daughter on October 7, 2023, spent 52 days recovering from severe burns.

Since then, she has graduated from medical school and recently given birth to a miracle baby boy.

This August, Golan will headline the Australian Jewish Fertility Network’s (AJFN) “Holding onto Hope” events in Sydney and Melbourne, as part of the organisation’s milestone 18-year (Chai) anniversary. Her extraordinary story is a testament to resilience, hope and the miracle of new Jewish life.

The events will also feature a dynamic lineup of speakers including Tammi Faraday, acclaimed broadcaster and host of the Brave Journeys podcast, and Rebekah Giles, high profile lawyer, mother and tsunami survivor.

Since its inception 18 years ago, AJFN has played a key role in the birth of over 90 Jewish babies, providing vital financial assistance and emotional and spiritual support to people navigating challenging fertility journeys, ensuring that no Jewish Australian ever walks this path alone.
