In this deeply emotional and inspiring conversation, Siporah Sassoon shares her harrowing story of surviving a tragic house fire that claimed the lives of her seven siblings. She opens up about the trauma, the long road to physical and emotional recovery, and how her unwavering faith in Hashem has carried her through the darkest of times.

A decade has passed since a tragic house fire ripped through Sipora Sassoon’s home in Brooklyn, claiming the lives of her seven siblings. Sipora survived—but not easily. She was hospitalized with severe burns covering nearly half of her body, and at one point “didn’t know her siblings were gone” as she fought to recover. In this deeply poignant episode, Siporah revisits the night of the fire:

She shares what she remembers of waking from smoke-choked darkness.
She describes waking up in a hospital burn unit, relearning to breathe and walk—and how, at first, she didn’t understand the full extent of her loss .

Siporah speaks with incredible honesty and strength about grief, healing, survivor’s guilt, resilience, and rediscovering joy. She reflects on her siblings’ lives, her relationship with Hashem before and after the tragedy, and the message she wants to carry forward in their memory.

This episode is a testament to the power of the human spirit and the depth of Jewish faith

Your love and support have been a source of strength, and you’ve played a significant role in shaping who I am and where I am today.” "This episode is dedicated to my parents who have given me so much strength as well as l’zecher nishmas to my siblings who perished in this tragedy Eliana Sassoon (16), David Sassoon (12), Rivkah Sassoon (11), Yeshua Sassoon (10), Moshe Sassoon (8), Sara Sassoon (6), and Yaakob Sassoon (5)."
