When Tehilla K. was expecting for the first time, she and her husband spent hours debating whether it would be a girl or boy.   “You’re carrying low, I bet it’s a boy!” neighbors would rudely remark.   “With all that nausea, I wouldn’t be surprised if it was a girl,” whispered his mother too loudly.   When the baby was finally born, Tehilla and Avi were completely shocked. But because of something else entirely.   “Our precious baby boy was born with a rare syndrome that affects his lungs,” explains Tehilla to reporters in numbed disbelief.    “Every breath that he takes solely relies on expensive medical equipment and medication.”   “I stare into my precious little baby’s peaceful face, and I just can’t stop the tears from flowing. Our parents can’t help us.

“Please state your emergency.” “My Daddy fell down…He’s not waking up.” It was a summer Shabbos afternoon like any other. Shlomo Abuhav had bentched after the meal and then offered his wife to go take a well-deserved nap. The older kids were playing at friends’ houses, and Shlomo stayed at home to watch his youngest child, adorable five-year-old Miri. They were in middle of playing an intense round of hide-and-go-seek when suddenly, Shlomo collapsed onto the floor.  And that’s when Miri put some incredible training into practice. Forgetting that her mother was home, the five-year-old quickly grabbed the home phone and called the police.  “My Daddy fell down…He’s not waking up.

“You’re making a huge mistake.” These were the words Sarah heard over and over from her friends and family in Holland. They couldn’t understand why a girl from a good Christian family would choose to be OrtHodox Jew. And Sarah had stopped trying to explain. Her heart was set. And so she began the journey that would eventually lead to being disowned by her loved ones, all in the name of the pursuit of Truth. When Sarah Zanderheiden came to Israel for a visit, she was blown away by how different it was from her native Holland. Her home country is one of the capitals of European Western values in the world. As a child she had always felt something was missing.

First Covid. Then Meron. Then Miami.    What’s next?   With the horrific tragedies that have swept our nation these past few months, Elul approaches us with a sense of foreboding. This past year, we heard the chazzanim sing the haunting melody of “Mi bamayim umi be’sh…” but none of us knew that so many of the horrific deaths described in the ancient tefillos would actually come true before our very own disbelieving eyes. We lost brothers, sisters, mothers, sons. This was a dark year.    But there is hope.   After a year of unimaginable tzaros, Elul is finally here. A month with the power of change, the power of Hashem’s rachamim.

Yanky looks just like his Tatty. Dark peyos frame his round 7-year-old face. Big brown eyes and long eyelashes sparkle as he smiles a toothy grin. His whole life the first grader has been proud to look like the Tatty that the whole community knows and loves for his work mentoring bochurim and his warm, caring nature. The Tatty who took him on “fun trips” and carried him on his shoulders. From this week and for the rest of his life, however, looking like his Tatty will be a heavy burden, and a painful reminder. Last Friday morning, 32-year-old Levi Poryes passed away suddenly from cardiac arrest. The Beitar community was shocked: As far as anyone had known, he was a healthy young man.

Her husband walked out the door, leaving her alone with her 7 children. She has been raising these children alone, doing whatever it takes to take care of them. To make matters worse, her ex-husband is no longer frum and is trying to entice the children to leave the Torah as well. Mrs. R_____ is fighting on all fronts. She must provide for her children financially, so they have what they need, while also making her children feel the warm embrace of Hashem and Yiddishkeit, to help these children stay on the one true path. Very recently, Mrs. R_____ had a massive stroke that completely paralyzed half her body. This has now left her children alone! Abandoned! No longer can she work to provide for their finances!
