Agudath Israel of America has meant so much to so many people, on a klal level and to the yochid as well.
Today’s case in point:
There was one thing that Chezky Miller knew for sure.
It didn’t matter how old you were or how old your parents were. You’re never ready to say goodbye to them forever. And yet, that is exactly what doctors were telling him to do as his 89-year-old mother continued to deteriorate after cancer surgery.
Chezky had taken his mother to a renowned surgeon at a world-class hospital, but she was heading downhill and doctors told him to prepare himself for the worst, something Chezky absolutely refused to do.

“Thank you for being the shaliach to save my Mom…”

“The doctors said she has a few months to live…….. Now she was told she can get treatment and she has a chance!”

“I have no words to thank for the help you gave me for the medical outcome I had”

There’s no Sukkos like Sukkos in Yerushalayim. The feelings of festivity are almost tangible. Prior to the Yom Tov, the streets are filled with vendors selling daled minim and all sorts of Yom Tov paraphernalia. Then, once Yom Tov begins, there is a spirit of joy that just cannot be described in words.
Chol Hamoed brings another level of joy with Simchos Bais Hashoeivah across town, and the chag wraps up with the celebration of Simchas Torah that is unlike anything else in the world.
But this year will be different.
The city of Yerushalayim will be noticeably emptier.

How many casualties has the pandemic claimed?
 
It was Friday, a week and a half after Pesach. The lockdown was still in effect, and everyone was home. Father Efraim Blum wasn’t going out at all, even for fresh air, because he was suffering from a high fever. They anxiously awaited the return of his test results.
 
Suddenly, they heard a thump. Mother left the Shabbos cooking and ran in a panic, only to find her husband lying on the floor, unconscious.
 
The paramedics arrived and burst into the Blum home. They checked his pulse & began resuscitation. One, two, three … his inanimate body jumped fron the electric shocks. The children watched on in horror, screaming – “Abba!,” they yelled. “Abba, wake up!”

Teachers at a Jerusalem cheder became concerned earlier this year when 8 year old Moshe Blum stopped speaking. His family had recently moved to Israel from England, which comes with many typical challenges. It was clear from his complete silence, that there was something more going on at home. When they phoned his mother to check in, they were shocked to hear the full story.
 
Zelda & Mordechai Blum moved to Israel with the hopes of raising their children in the Israeli school systems. Shortly after their arrival, however, the father of 3 experienced strange pains in his chest. He was diagnosed with cancer, and their family began a descent into chaos & poverty.

It was the peak of the first coronavirus wave in Israel and I had been laid off of my job. I was home feeling depressed when it occurred to me: Maybe if I went out to help others who were having a harder time than myself, it would help me gain perspective.

That’s when I got in my car and drove to the packing lots for Masbia LeKol Chai. I had heard of Masbia from a friend who had volunteered with them in the past. When I got to the lot I was moved by what I saw: Volunteers of every age and hashkafa, packing boxes with essential groceries.

I signed in with my details, and got started. One by one, another man & I loaded the boxes up onto the truck. Mid-afternoon, we set out for Yerushalayim to start delivering the packages.
