The words of ‘U’nesaneh Tokef’ still echo in my mind. The words “?מי יתייסר Who will suffer?” resonate deeply within me, Tearing at my heart. I recited these words, thinking only of my little Yehuda. My baby. He’s only one year old, and he’s already suffered enough for a lifetime. Little Yehuda is stricken with cancer, and all his little body knows is suffering. He’s so little. How can someone so tiny suffer so much? I recited the words of ‘U’nesaneh Tokef,’ Wondering what Hashem has decreed for my beautiful little baby? Will he have life? Peace? Health? We’ve davened so many tefillos. We’ve accepted kabbalos and given tzedakah. We’ve spilled rivers of tears. But there’s one thing we—his parents—haven’t done for him yet.
