Susie Beville is a food and wellness coach, food educator and cooking class facilitator. A single mother of two young adults, she grew up with the knowledge that she had been adopted through the Jewish welfare system, but it was only in the last 12 years that she has discovered and been in contact with her birth family.
Ricki Mainzer was adopted at nine months to a Jewish couple who had resigned themselves to a childless life. For 19 years, she thrived in a nurturing home, happily oblivious to the fact. Inspired by her parents' strong Jewish Identity, she teaches History, Shoah and Modern Israel Studies at Yavneh College.
