Born without legs, Rivky Holtzberg has built a life defined by resilience, independence, and unwavering faith. Raised in a Chabad family, she credits her parents with instilling the confidence to embrace challenges rather than be limited by them.

Despite growing up in schools that often lacked accessibility, Rivky refused to let obstacles define her. Today, she works full-time in marketing, runs her own party planning company, drives independently using adapted vehicles, and continues to pursue her goals with determination.

At the heart of her life is her family’s Chabad shlichus. Together, they welcome and host approximately 200 people each week, creating a warm, vibrant community where Rivky plays an active role. Her commitment to hospitality and Jewish outreach reflects the values of kindness, service, and faith that have shaped her life.

Rivky also speaks candidly about the challenges of dating while living with a disability, noting that she hopes people will look beyond appearances to appreciate who she is. Through it all, she remains optimistic, drawing strength from her faith, her family, and her belief that every challenge carries purpose.
