Sarri Singer

Sarri Singer, born in Lakewood, New Jersey, is the daughter of New Jersey State Senator, Robert Singer. Until 9/11, Singer worked a few blocks away from the World Trade Center. Deeply moved by the tragedy of 9/11, Singer decided to resign from her position in December 2001 and move to Israel to help victims of terror. While there, Singer coordinated bone marrow drives for Gift of Life and volunteered with various organizations working with victims of terror.

On June 11, 2003, Singer was on Bus 14 in Jerusalem when an 18 year old Palestinian terrorist dressed as a religious Jew boarded and blew himself up. 17 people were murdered, including all those seated and standing around her, and over 100 people were injured. Singer was hospitalized for two weeks and then returned to New Jersey to be with family. Her story became high profile. She appeared on television stations such as CBS, FoxNews, CNN and radio interviews. She spoke before Congressmen and Senators in Washington, D.C. and politicians in New York and New Jersey. In September 2003 she returned to work and volunteering in Israel. In June 2004, she returned to the United States to take care of medical issues associated with her attack.

Singer is the Founder and Director of Strength to Strength, focusing on bringing together victims of terrorism together from around the world and assisting with long term psychological needs. Singer has addressed audiences throughout the United States, Canada, Europe and Israel and continues to share her unique insight into the ongoing struggle for victims of terror in Israel and around the world.
