Steal This Idea: Why Judaism Says No to Microlooting
At 96 years young, Holocaust survivor Charlotte Roth of Cleveland just made aliyah — and when she received her Israeli ID card in Tel Aviv this week, surrounded by five generations of her family, she said it all in two words: "I won."
After surviving Auschwitz and building a full life in America, Charlotte has now joined her children, 9 grandchildren, 26 great-grandchildren, many of them proudly serving in the IDF, and 11 great-great-grandchildren, all thriving in Netanya.
A lifetime of resilience. A family that defied every odd. And a moment that captures the miracle of Jewish continuity more powerfully than any words could.
Am Yisrael Chai.

Charlotte could not have said it better…WE WON!!!
That is awesome
An inspirational story. Mazal tov, Charlotte. I am 97 and came on aliyah from Cleveland 18 years ago to be closer to two children and grandchildren and great grandchildren in Israel. One of my best decisions in life.
I wish you much happiness and success.
Amazing woman! What a fabulous thing for her to go live in Israel…wishing her many good years in the Holy Land.
She showed the Nazis in Germany they would not destroy her family! I applaud this Lady and send love from the USA 🙏❣️🇺🇸
Blessings to Charlotte and her family. Such a nice article, and a great heritage!
Am Yisrael Chai.
