When a Gadol asks everyone in Klal Yisroel to do something, it’s rare. It’s huge. And that is why Rav Chaim’s emergency request just released several days ago has been making front-page headlines: (Original below)   “BSD Cheshvan 5782   I ask everyone to partner with me to save the life of my friend, a huge talmid chacham…His situation has touched my heart and is close to being one of pikuach nefesh. All those who help, I will remember them for good. They will merit to raise their children to Torah and to the chuppah, and no sickness or harm should befall upon their families. They will be blessed with children, life and sustenance.    Chaim Kanievsky”   Right now a dear talmid of the Gadol Hador and a beloved father of young children is hovering between life and death.

Hello, my name is Rabbi Dovid Friedman.* Baruch Hashem, I’ve had the opportunity for several years now to do the very special mitzvah of bris milah for young couples. There have been many challenges and curveballs throughout the years, a child who woke up jaundiced the morning of the bris, a cab ride that had me arriving home from an out of town simcha 10 minutes before shabbos, the usual. But there is one bris that I know I will never forget: That’s the bris of the Blau baby.   Yaakov Yeshaya’s mother passed away last week  at only 22 years old, shortly after giving birth. I’ll never forget what it was like: A minyan of solemn men, there to do the mitzvah but weighed down by the heaviness of the occasion. The father, tears running down his face as he named his son without his wife.

Dear brothers and sisters, My name is Bracha and with Hashem’s help I will be getting married very soon! My happiness is not complete because I have no way to pay for anything! I do not have any relatives or friends who can help me pay for my wedding. I beg of every Jewish soul to please open your heart and donate whatever possible to my wedding fund. CLICK HERE TO DONATE You have an incredible opportunity to invest in the great mitzva of hachnosas kallah, and you will be wiping away the bitter tears from my eyes.
