Last week, a letter was published by a young girl in her twenties asking the public for help after a tragedy that fell upon her family. In simple, straightforward words, Esther Schlesinger described her family’s tragedy: “I will never forget the day the triplets in our family were born. Abba came home with a bittersweet smile: “Mazal Tov! Ima gave birth to three babies!” But the babies were in critical condition in the NICU and Ima was in the oncology. Her cancer was in its later stages. Noone could save her anymore.” Only a month after the birth, notices were hung on the walls of Yerushalayim announcing the death of Yocheved Shlezinger, age 29. The Shlezinger home was full of people coming to be menacham avel as the young father tried to process his tragedy.
