Temple Beth El West Palm Beach To Host Yom Hashoah Program Featuring Iranian-American Haleh Rabizadeh Resnick

The evening will explore the enduring meaning of Yom HaShoah through the lens of Jewish identity, resilience, and moral courage. According to the event announcement, the program will examine “a powerful lesson of the Iranian Revolution and what it teaches us about standing firmly in our Jewish identity — especially when the ground shifts beneath us.”

Resnick brings both personal experience and a compelling perspective to the conversation. After the Iranian Revolution in 1979, her family was forced to flee Iran and rebuild their lives in the United States. Her story and message underscore themes of Jewish unity, identity, and shared peoplehood.

The program will take place at Temple Beth El West Palm Beach, 2815 North Flagler Drive, West Palm Beach, Florida 33407. Light refreshments will be served following the presentation. Registration is appreciated by Friday, April 10th, 2026, via the temple’s event form.

Haleh Rabizadeh Resnick Bio:

Haleh was born in the United States to Iranian parents. Her family moved back to Iran before the Revolution…after which, as a Jewish family, they were forced to flee back to the U.S. when she was just in third grade. The experience of growing up as very much an outsider in what she considers an incredible country has helped to give her a remarkably unique perspective that applies to both children and adults when it comes to personal relationships.

Haleh graduated Rutgers Law School with high honors and after working in the world of finance in internationally recognized law firms, Haleh temporarily retired from law to be home to raise her five children.

In that time, she authored the books Little Patient Big Doctor and Navigating OIT both supporting parents with children’s health challenges by encouraging out of the box thinking and a holistic approach to health. She has spoken nationally on children’s health topics to parent groups and medical conferences and appeared in both local and national media outlets including CNN.

Recently Haleh released the Think Again Series, encouraging children and partnering with parents to teach understanding of others through innovation and imagination. As a life-long educator and counselor, this series is one that is designed to engage people of all ages.

Haleh has also always been fully involved in non-profit organizations assisting in her local Jewish community and currently serves as a Business and Community Development Director in her town.

Haleh’s overall background and experiences have given her the knowledge and familiarity to speak to others on a variety of topics…offering perspectives that aren’t often considered by many, and encouraging people to see things differently and for the better.

Haleh has been married for over 25 years, and lives in New Jersey with her husband and family. Her work has garnered attention from national media, as she inspires those around her to Think Again in all that we do.
