News of a father-of-five made waves this month after he was given a potential lifetime sentence in prison for a crime that he did not commit. Rabbonim have kept most details private in order to protect his family’s privacy during this difficult time, and publicly request that readers come forth and donate generously towards bail and lawyer fees to prevent this sentence from becoming a tragic reality.
The man’s horrified family is struggling to conjure the $150,000 needed for bail and are grateful to Rav Daniel Belsky who is advocating fiercely to raise the funds urgently needed for his release. According to Rav Belsky the man wasn’t in the best of health to begin with, and now that he is in prison, his life is now in danger.

Sitting shiva is always an uncomfortable experience. For the Shor family of Jerusalem, however, the level of discomfort is on another level:
Last week, a horrific fire ripped through their home, killing their 12-year old son, Eliyahu. Eliyahu’s parents watched on in horror, as firefighters yelled for the boy to jump from his window. He was too afraid to jump, and tragically passed away. They were rushed to the hospital and treated for smoke inhalation. What came next, however, was a shock that had not even occurred to them while they were processing the death of their son: They had nowhere to sit shiva.

It was a typical Monday morning in the Wishinsky home. Chedva quickly scrambled up some eggs for Ayala and Yosef, tossed sandwiches into their school bags, and gave them a quick kiss on the cheek before sending them off to school and then hurrying to catch the Egged bus to make it to her own job on time. Chedva Wishinsky has been a single mother for four years now, so even if she gets sick, taking off work is never an option in her world. Not if she wants to keep her gorgeous children fed and pay rent for the tiny one-room studio in Ramot that they have called home for the past four years.
But when she came home from work that afternoon, Chedva noticed a horrifying letter on the peeling front door–
An eviction notice.

In some ways he could not have been further from the Torah: He was a young non-Jewish French boy, growing up in a world surrounded by secular culture. But somehow, deep down, Refael Ohayon knew that there was more to the story. And so he began searching for truth… and wound up immersing himself in Judaism.
Before long, Refael underwent a halachic conversion and became a Jew. Remarkably, his influence was so strong, his love for Torah so deep, that his mother and brother were inspired to convert as well.
