Sara Yoheved Rigler is a Jewish author, speaker, and columnist specializing in personal growth, teshuva (repentance), and women's issues within Orthodox Judaism. Born around 1948 in the United States, she grew up in New Jersey during the 1960s. At age 20 in 1968, she traveled to India on a spiritual quest, studying under a guru who was both a mystic and Sanskrit scholar, which profoundly influenced her search for meaning. Returning to the U.S. in 1969, she completed her undergraduate psychology degree at Brandeis University, graduating Phi Beta Kappa and Magna cum Laude. She later embraced Orthodox Judaism and relocated to Jerusalem, Israel, where she has lived for decades, becoming a prominent figure in Jewish spirituality. She authors articles for platforms like Aish.com and delivers lectures on faith and personal transformation. Rigler is the author of seven books on Jewish themes, including 'Holy Woman,' 'Lights from Jerusalem,' 'Battle Plans: How to Fight the Yetzer Hara' (co-authored with Rebbetzin Tziporah Heller), 'G-d Winked: Tales and Lessons from My Spiritual Adventures,' 'Heavenprints,' and 'Emunah with Love and Chicken Soup: The Story of Rebbetzin Henny Machlis.' Her work draws from her spiritual adventures and interviews with inspirational Jewish figures, exploring themes of emunah (faith), repentance, and the lives of extraordinary Jewish women, blending personal narrative with practical spiritual advice to inspire readers worldwide.
