Her legal background—including practicing tax and estate planning—eventually transitioned into a life dedicated to community impact.Samantha’s journey with Federation CJA has spanned decades, from her early days as Chair of FedNext.

Her journey began at age thirteen when she spontaneously defended a Baha’i classmate against a schoolyard bully, triggering events that would eventually take her into danger and far from her beloved, homeland.Dr. Goel lived under two dictatorships; The Shah and The Ayatollah Khomeini, she knows what is at stake. In her memoir, Fleeing the Hijab: A Jewish Woman’s Escape from Iran, she shares how life in her beloved home changed inexorably from a paradise to a hell.With the publication of her memoir, Dr. Goel fulfilled a promise she made to herself on a dark night of her desert crossing: to share her story with as many people as possible and to tell of the power of faith, hope and perseverance. For Dr. Goel, freedom is a vital presence that transforms life. It allows you the right to self-expression, from the music you listen to, to the way you dress, to the books and ideals you study.Once a penniless political refugee, now an established Montreal professional, Dr. Goel shares her belief that an authentic life requires freedom of choice, the most precious commodity of all. She tells her story with dignity, passion, clarity and wisdom as she takes the audience on a journey that speaks to the power of resilience and courage. A master storyteller with a peerless perspective on the events that shaped her world, Dr. Goel leaves her audiences enlightened and inspired, and grateful for the myriad privileges available in modern democratic societies.Emmanuel TrauBio: An attorney from Israel with a background in Law and Middle Eastern Studies, Emmanuel Trau also has a foundation in advanced traditional Jewish studies and serves as a Shaliach (Special Emissary) with Federation CJA.
