About the author:

Nechama Elbaz Rothstein grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, and was educated in the Hebrew Academy of Cleveland, where she learned many lessons beyond textbooks from the great Rabbi and Mrs. N.Z. Dessler. Her parents were moser nefesh for Torah with true ahavas Hashem, and they created in her a spark to connect others to Hashem as well. Through the support of her family and friends, she is always searching for new ways to do so. This sefer, V’Zakeini, was born through much labor to deliver a constant companion for others to literally hold in their hand as they navigate the unique challenges of finding one’s zivug to marrying off their children. Nechama loves bringing ideas to life and taking on large projects, which she can only do with the support and help of her husband and children. Her favorite time is that spent with family. She has a passion for all areas of child development and davened to be able to use her strengths to bring out the strengths in others; she has been a pediatric occupational therapist for over twenty years and has now expanded to parent coaching.
