"I have never believed in
inflexibility—except when Israel is concerned. On matters that have to do
with my country, I have never conceded an inch—but people are something
else"

Witness her strong will and call to action from rebellious teenager, to newlywed and kibbutz pioneer, to mother and wife, to dedicated contributor to the creation of the State of Israel.

“I have seen many actors portray characters from history, but have never seen anyone that has paid attention to the detail that Helen did in her presentation of "Golda: Letters to Mama"... I cannot recommend it highly enough.” |

—Elnore A. Grow, Lakewood AAUW Chapter |

“I was moved and delighted with your portrayal of young Golda Meir. I have always had an admiration for the woman as leader of Israel, but you have added to that idea to make her a whole person for me. I know by the questions asked of you by your audience, here at RiverPointe, that they were similarly impressed with the Golda you portrayed. Didn't she experience the same struggles of female role fulfillment--family, work, heart desires--that we all do? And yet, the brave, motivated person she was took her to a higher plane of influence and accomplishment than most of us ever attain. Thank you, Helen, for bringing her to us.” |

Golda Meir’s hope and vision for the Jewish people—to exist as a sovereign state and to live in peace with their Arab neighbors—is as vital today as it was in 1948.
