Suicide bombing survivor speaks at academy

Tzippy Cohen will give a lecture, "We the Living- A Survivor of a Suicide Bombing Speaks" at 8 p.m. Mon., Feb. 26 at the Conejo Jewish Academy, 30345 Canwood St., Agoura Hills.

Cohen and two of her friends were having a late dinner at Café Hillel in Jerusalem on Sept. 9, 2003. A suicide bomber blew himself up in the restaurant, killing seven people and injuring many others, including Cohen and her friends.

Since that experience, Cohen has traveled the country to speak about that event. According to event organizers, Cohen "tells of the choice many survivors and Israelis must make to survive- to seek out the good in the seemingly otherwise and recognize the blessing in each tear."

The cost for the lecture is $10 for advance paid reservations and $13 at the door.
