Thousands Gather for Historic Event Marking the Growing Torah Community in the South • A large crowd, including hundreds of new homeowners attended the event, led by Gedolei Yisroel     Thousands from across Eretz Yisroel gathered under the leadership of Gedolei Yisroel for a historic event marking the growth of Israel’s Torah dynasty in the south, with the laying of the foundation stone for Kiryat Beit Halevi and the Ramat Meir neighborhood in Netivot. The large crowd included hundreds of avrechim– now proud homeowners–among them distinguished bnei Torah from the finest yeshivos, who traveled from across the country to take part in this momentous occasion.   A strong sense that history was in the making could be felt in the air.

Benny was born 18 months ago, bringing with him great joy to his parents. A healthy, thriving baby, he was their sunshine. But six weeks ago, he suddenly became sick. Very, very sick. The diagnosis was shattering: colon cancer, advanced. Benny declined quickly, turning from a happy toddler to a child unable to eat, crawl or even sit up. He had to be admitted to PICU, in total quarantine due to his fragile state, his parents can only see him in pictures taken by kind nurses. Desperate and broken hearted, they got a small ray of hope: there is a surgical protocol that might save his life. But it is an innovative procedure, and due to his young age, it will require a series of supportive tests and medical care. Estimated cost: $300,000 The parents do not have this sum.

“Telling your wife your needs and wants” is a complete waste of time for married men who want happiness and I’ll tell you why. So many marriage experts claim they have the secret to a happy marriage and that it all comes down to communication, boundaries and bringing in more money. They tell you to help out more at home, talk about the past, go together to a marriage professional but never stop to take inventory of whether ANY of these methods are actually WORKING in creating happiness and joy! I am not saying those strategies don’t work at all, but they are the long… slow… painful way of having a happy home.

Can you hear her? She sits alone at the Shabbos table, staring at the empty chairs that should be filled with laughter and family. She’s holding it all together for her kids, even though inside, she’s screaming.  But not anymore. Today, her voice—along with the voices of countless single moms like her—is finally being heard. Today, a group of community advocates is speaking up for her—and for countless single moms like her who feel invisible and forgotten.  Watch and be part of the solution!   In a powerful video, prominent advocates come together to amplify her cry:   Yehudis Sherman, founder of Mishpachtainu, who turned her own home into a refuge, hosting divorced women for Shabbos and Yom Tov.

Yerushalayim, the City of Gold A place that holds treasures that cannot be bought. Revered not for its physical riches but for its spiritual wealth, history, and people.  With a sense of purpose and a mission to live a higher life, these giants of our nation choose to live physically simple and spiritually rich. With focus and intent, they appreciate what can seem to us as insignificant: The warmth of a cozy blanket. The smell of fresh bread. The comfort of a new pair of shoes.  Yet, for many, even these simple delights are out of reach. And that’s where we step in. For close to two centuries, Kollel Shomrei Hachomos Reb Meir Baal Haness has provided essentials to families in Yerushalayim and beyond.  But it doesn’t stop there.

A new video highlights the electric energy top Israeli star Akiva is expected to bring to his upcoming performance at the Bergenpac on February 17th in Englewood, New Jersey—and at South Florida’s Boca Raton Synagogue on February 16th.  VIP tickets at Akiva’s New Jersey concert benefit Belev Echad, an organization that gives wounded IDF soldiers their lives back through physical, medical, legal, emotional, and financial support. And in Florida, VIP sales benefit the Boca Raton Synagogue. Just a month ago, Akiva’s electric performance brought a packed Los Angeles concert hall to its feet, dancing and singing with every word of his heartfelt hits.
