ABOUT VZAKEINI PHASE II

IVF treatment is effective for many different fertility issues. But $18,000 is the cost of a simple IVF treatment (if we can even call it that). When there is something more complex like a genetic mutation, andrology issue (male infertility), or a woman who requires further testing, the price of treatment is much higher.

Through V’zakeini, Bonei Olam has uncovered something –

There is a movement here.
There is achdus of feeling for another, doing for another. To give and to daven for another.
There is the power of together.

And then the thought occurred, there are so many women in Klal Yisrael and so many couples awaiting treatment who face costs far more than the average, why stop the effort at 18,000 sponsors?

Bonei Olam has decided to grow the V’zakeini group of 18,000 women to 25,000. Every $1 donation will come together to fund IVF treatments- some that cost $18,000 and some that cost more, and the tefilos will continue to carry the couple’s own prayers. 

If you haven’t joined yet, you can still sign up for the merit of doing, caring, and davening for your fellow Jew! 

Sign up today…and be a part of miracles tomorrow!

A message from the Gutman family, whose story has appeared in Jewish news sites over recent months, as mother Ayala fought bravely against cancer:
 
“Dear Klal Yisroel,

We are writing to you as we mourn the death of our mother, Ayala Gutman A”h.

Our mother was sick with cancer for over 10 years. Throughout it all, her number one priority was to be there for us. Her dream to be healed and cancer free was motivated by her wanting to be able to provide for her family like any other mother does. Unfortunately, just a little over a year ago her cancer spread to her brain. It didn’t take long for the cancer to completely debilitate her.

After a grueling 12 years, and many many aggressive treatments, our mother was niftar. Our father is grieving the loss of his beloved and has been left with tremendous medical debt from all the treatments he paid for in order to help our mother. He has nothing left and needs help getting himself back on his own two feet. It’s been so many years that he has only thought of our mother, we fear he forgot how to take care of himself.

Please help us help him. Anything you can give him to help pay off the medical bills and restabilize himself would be so appreciated. We have already lost our mother to cancer. Please help us keep our father afloat during this difficult time.

Tizku LiMitzvot,

The Gutman Children“

Devastating photos emerged this week, as the Stern children said goodbye to their mother, Mrs. Yehudis Stern. Yehudis was a beloved teacher, and a mother of 15.

Her battle with cancer was excruciatingly slow. In her final days, Yehudis was bedridden and her family devoted their time to tending to her needs.

Last week, against all odds, Mrs. Stern was brought to her son’s chuppah. She was unable to stand, but was determined to attend the ceremony. Her family says that she had one dying wish: That her household and children should be taken care of.

Yehudis’s widower Rabbi Stern is now struggling to fulfill her final wishes, as he is now solely responsible for the financial and emotional welfare of a large family, while processing immense grief himself. An emergency fund has been opened for the Stern family to help them overcome this unimaginable tragedy.

Tisha B’av’s come and go – but Hashem gave us Tisha B’av for a reason: So that we change.

So that we grow – especially in mitzvohs of bein odom lechaveiro.  And none is greater – or more badly needed – than shalom.

Cha”zal couldn’t be clearer: Beis Hamikdash was destroyed due to the lack of shalom – and restoring shalom will get it built again.  We live shalom, we live Geula.

But few words are easier said than done, aren’t they? Some people are virtually impossible to live with… some injuries seem impossible to forgive, let alone overcome and forget… family feuds can last decades (with hardly anyone even remembering what they were all about…)So, no.

Shalom is not easy.  But this Tisha B’av you have a real chance to make great strides toward changing your life in a way you may not think possible.

This is because while shalom may not come easy – it’s actually quite simple!

In fact, it takes just 3 things:

A clear-as-day understanding and conviction – etched deeply into your heart – that if you have shalom, you have everything – If don’t have shalom, you have nothing!

You need to be aware of the simple few “rules” of what makes or breaks sholom – and how to apply them in every area of your life. (See more on that later) ·        And you need a decision.  A single-minded resolute determination to go after it, no matter what.

And you’ll get them all, iy”H, in this year’s Chofetz Chaim Tisha B’av Worldwide Event held online this year due to the Corona situation. Some of the Jewish world’s most moving and inspiring speakers will spend Tish B’av with you.

We are pained to announce the passing of Mrs. Ayala Gutman, mother of 5.

Readers around the world followed Gutman family’s story earlier this year, when they rallied together to make a wedding despite Ayala’s illness. Mrs. Gutman fought cancer for over ten years, and was confined to a wheelchair. Recently she began to lose her memories as well, and her condition was diagnosed as terminal.

The family was able to happily marry off one son in recent months, a simcha which will no doubt be remembered as their final reunion & celebration before their mother’s untimely passing.

Mrs. Gutman passed away last week, leaving behind a devastated widower & 5 children. Rabbi Gutman has dedicated many years to caring for his severely ill wife, and is now deeply bereft.

Donations are being accepted for the Gutmans, who are left with tremendous medical debt. Contributions are badly needed as they go toward emerging from seemingly insurmountable debt, and covering basic bills.

For Mrs. Gutman and her family, the battle with illness has been a long one, fought bravely, and with much suffering. Now they begin a new road – toward peace & healing. A road that can only be possible if it is paved by the kindness and compassion of others.

David Birnstein and his family were doing everything they could to keep themselves out of harm’s way from the spreading Coronavirus. They were shocked then, when David was diagnosed with another deadly disease. A young David is the father of three young children, one of whom is just a five month old baby. The recent diagnosis has completely changed this young family’s life.

David’s disease has traveled to his brain, which is painful and life threatening for David. Initially he was hospitalized just for treatment of the disease, but the doctors have informed the Birnsteins that David must remain in the hospital for at least another year in order to receive proper treatment and rehabilitation in order to fully recover.

The costs of the hospital treatments are a fortune, 10,000 shekel a month. Naturally, this expense is way beyond the young family’s means. It is a matter of life and death though, and the Birnsteins are doing everything they can to help David survive.

The famous Biale Rebbe and Rachmastrivka Rebbe have heard David’s story and have been inspired to help him. These Gedolei HaDor recognize the tremendous help the Birnsteins need in order to save David’s life. They have issued a public letter stating the importance of donating to the Birnstein’s life saving cause and are blessing those generous enough to help. You can help save a life by clicking here.

This Monday will be the yahrzeit of beloved Gadol & Torah giant, Rav Yosef Shalom Elyashiv zt”l.

Shockwaves were sent through the global Jewish community when Rav Elyashiv passed away 8 years ago. To this day, many flock to his gravesite to pay their respects.

Rav Elyashiv’s son in law, the current Gadol HaDor Rav Chaim Kanievsky, is no exception.

Rav Kanievsky will continue his yearly tradition of visiting Rav Elyashiv’s grave on the day of his yahrzeit. As usual, the Rav will be followed by a group of spectators, there to guard his safety as well as those who are simply curious to get a glimpse. Rav Kanievsky being seen outdoors is a rarity, especially during the pandemic.

In addition to honoring Rav Elyashiv, Rav Kanievsky comes to the cemetery with a singular goal in mind: Saving the lives of those who are suffering in poverty.

It was Rav Elyashiv’s personal request that Klal Yisroel should continue to give their tzedaka to Vaad HaRabbanim, the organization which sprang from his vision to help the impoverished families of Israel. Since its founding Vaad HaRabbanim has risen to worldwide recognition. Though Rav Elyashiv has left this world, his legacy lives on, both in the Torah he gave over, and in the massive network of Jews on both the giving & receiving end of Vaad’s international networks. To those who join in this worthy cause the Rav extended his bracha of “bney, chaeye o’mezoney” – children, life and parnassah.

In these turbulent times, this blessing is as needed as ever.

Those who wish to add their names to Rav Chaim Kanievsky’s prayer list, to be prayed for on Monday at the gravesite of Rav Elyashiv, can do so here for a limited time. All proceeds go to Vaad Harabbanim’s fund for families in need.

One man’s business has gone terribly awry and instead of supporting a family it is now tearing them apart. A man, whose identity is being kept anonymous for safety precautions, is being terrorized and threatened by an Arab worker. The devoted husband and father of four is now fervently hoping that he will be freed from the life threatening ransom that is being demanded of him. 

A man who made an honest living through his business and was known to give generously to those less fortunate now finds himself in an unimaginable predicament where he is dependent on others to keep him alive and his family together.  

The Rosh Yeshiva of Yeshivat Chachmat Lublin and grandson of Harav Shmuel Vosner zt’l, HaGaon HaRav Yosef Binyamin Vosner shlit’a, knows this man personally and has vouched that this man is righteous and honest. The man being threatened was a close disciple of Rav Vosner’s grandfather, the Shevet HaLevi. Rav Vosner has declared this to be a matter of life and death and is urging the public to do what they can to help raise sufficient funds to save this man’s life. Do not abandon a man when he needs such dire help. 

Those who are able to donate to help this young man and his family can do so here.

Rav Binyanim Finkel, who is world-renowned for both his Torah learning and his tremendous chesed, was approached recently with the details of multiple individuals who are currently suffering in poverty due to extremely difficult life situations. Rav Finkel was deeply moved by the stories of the individuals in question, who have endured everything from cancer to blindness, abuse to homelessness.

It was then that plans were made for the Rav to travel on urgent business to the Kosel HaMaaravi, with a list of names to pray for in hand. The names belong to all those who donate to help the families in need. Donors receive the Rav’s bracha for nachas, health, parnassa, righteous children, and a long life.

It is no secret that the coronavirus has put much of the globe on hold, with Jews around the world unable to travel to Israel. Many long to visit the Kosel once more, to visit the shechina and immerse themselves in prayer. Rav Finkel’s visit is a unique opportunity to visit in spirit, when visiting physically is impossible.

Names will be collected for the remainder of this week.

The Breslev community lost a tremendous light last week, with the passing of prominent Rav and father of 10 children Rabbi Avraham Yitzchak Karmel. Karmel collapsed in his home while battling COVID, and Hatzolah were unable to resuscitate him.

The rabbi gave a remarkable 18 shiurei Torah each week to his beloved talmidim, and authored seforim as well. He was also well known for having the honor of leading prayers in Uman on Rosh Hashana, as the baal tefilah on the Yom HaDin for chassidim from all over the world.

Rav Karmel left behind a Rebbetzin and many children, who are now struggling to come to terms with his sudden passing.

“We had heard the stories of how suddenly it could happen,” says the moving letter on the family’s emergency fund page, “but nothing prepares you for it to happen to you.”

Rebbetzin Karmel is now left with enormous debts as well as devastating grief, and is turning to the Jewish People for help. Those who are able to help the Karmel orphans during this extremely sensitive time can do so here for a limited time.

Are you wondering if Social Work is for you? If you are compassionate, resilient and resourceful you possess some of the important qualities to enable you to become a Master in Social Work (MSW). Women understand that helping people deal with a host of challenges requires sensitivity and real knowledge. Social workers are at the forefront of helping people cope with all the stresses of everyday life and the extra pressures of illness or economic hardships. They assist their clients by providing them with the tools to live more productive lives. The sense of satisfaction that comes from doing good (while doing well) is immeasurable.

In what type of settings do Social Workers provide their services? Social Workers take their place as the main professionals who offer counselling in schools, clinics, hospitals, and in private practice.

What is unique about The New Seminary MSW Program? The problems that plague society, unfortunately also affect our community.   We thank Hashem that it is not to the extent and severity of the outside environment.   But we are not immune. There is no shortage of people who call themselves ‘social workers’; there is a desperate need for legitimate, quality Social Workers who have received top tier training and are ready to step into the field and make a real difference. Our program is geared to meet your needs, with a sensitivity to the nuances of our unique community – without any compromise on the content of the material. We help you achieve your goals without compromising on quality.

What if I am a mature woman who wants to now enter this profession? With experience as wives, mothers, and sometimes grandmothers, the mature woman brings the wisdom gained in their lives to the profession. Combined with the excellent, professional training provided in face-to-face classes, these women emerge with the knowledge, skills, and insight that makes them especially valuable additions to the profession.  Our program is very welcoming to women who are returning to school and offers a variety of ways to complete the program from full-time (2 years with classes only on Sundays and field work during the week) to part-time (done in either 3 or 4 years).

Application Process:

Heartbreaking images surfaced this week of the levaya of Rabbi Moshe Friedman, a 36-year-old father of 3. Friedman passed away recently after an arduous battle with cancer, which spread from his lungs to other organs. His wife Chava was by his side during his suffering, while also raising 3 children, two of whom are suffering from epilepsy.

After two years of tremendous suffering, Rabbi Friedman wasted away to the point that he was barely recognizable. Once a young, smiling man with a bushy brown beard, recent images show a pale, thin man in a wheelchair. In stark contrast to this image, his sons, with tears streaming down their rosy cheeks and flowing blond peyos, stammered through kaddish at his funeral procession. It was a painful collision of youthful & sick, life & death, the future and the past. Though Rabbi Friedman’s life has come to a close, his boys’ futures have yet to be written.

Chava’s relief for her husband to be free of his pain, as well as her crushing grief & sense of helplessness are painfully apparent in the family’s emergency fund page. She is now a young woman left to single handedly support her children, managing their medical needs, while mourning the loss of her “partner in life.”

Donations are being accepted to help them through this unimaginably difficult time.

A family was shaken to the core a few months ago when their apparently healthy father did not make it to the family simcha he was supposed to attend one evening.

Like any other day, Moshe Gotsman left his home early in the morning and told his wife he would meet her at a family simcha later that evening. As nightfall came, and there was no word from Moshe, his family began to worry. They couldn’t imagine what might be keeping such a devoted family member from this exciting event.

Amidst the wonder, Moshe’s wife Leah, received the dreaded call. A paramedic had reached out to her to inform her of her husband’s sudden passing. There were so many questions left unanswered for this newly widowed woman and her grieving family.

The only information they received was that Moshe collapsed during the day, lost consciousness and wasn’t able to recover. In just the span of a few hours, the Gotsman family went from simcha to tragedy. It was truly an unimaginable event.

Moshe’s untimely passing took everyone by surprise. He was a bright, respectable, and trustworthy man, who lived his life to the fullest. He had a close friendship with HaRav Chaim Kanievsky, Shlit’a and would visit him often. Moshe made a modest income as a teacher who would impart his great wisdom to young children in a highly sensitive manner.

Now, Leah is left alone as a widow. She cannot keep up with her family’s expenses and is being threatened by banks to either pay her debts or lose her home. She is feeling completely overwhelmed as she is still grieving the shocking death of her husband while dealing with these new financial burdens. She is hopeful the public will hear her story, and help her get through these difficult times.

“Recently came a day I feared would never come,” begins the emotional letter penned to the public. “The day I became a chassan.”

Yitzchok Rotman’s disbelief at his engagement, however, was not due to the struggles with dating which are so prevalent in today’s world —

He was surprised because he didn’t expect to be alive at all.

Two years ago, Yitzchok was in a hospital bed fighting brain cancer. Shortly before, his older brother had died from the same disease. The Rotman family were still freshly processing the loss of one son when another was diagnosed. It was a chaotic time, which they feel tremendously blessed to have left – Mostly.

Though the disease has passed, the Rotman are left dealing with its after-effects on a daily basis. An overwhelming amount of medical debt has left them in extremely difficult financial standing. They have a large family to support, and struggle to cover their basic needs. Now that Yitzchok is engaged to be married, they are left without the means with which to make a chasuna.

The aforementioned letter goes on:

“My wonderful parents, who have suffered through so much and given all they had to their children, are now left unable to afford their own clothing to their son’s chasuna. There are many siblings to dress, a hall to rent… Even the simplest wedding is far beyond our expenses.”

His hope, however, is not yet exhausted:

“Helping to make a chasuna is a tremendous mitzvah and that is why I am turning to you, Klal Yisroel. It is truly a miracle that I am here today to speak with you … Maybe we can make another miracle, together, through this mitzvah – and my family can make this wedding with dignity & ease.”

Those who are able to donate to help the Rotman family make a simple chasuna and recover from their crippling debt can do so here for a limited time.

All families inevitably experience bumps in the road from time to time. It is a natural progression of life, and overcoming these challenges helps build us up for the future. There are families, however, who cannot catch their breath or recompose themselves quickly enough before experiencing another blow. Leiby and Goldy Eingbar are the parents of such a family.

Leiby and Goldy are the parents of 11 beautiful children. They work extremely hard to sustain themselves, and yet they are caught in a heavy tide of medical bills and high daily expenses. Out of their eleven children, four of them suffer from the constant need of various medical procedures. Their sweet daughter has already undergone a surgery to prevent her from going blind. Two of their younger sons consider the hospital a second home as they spend so much time there for various treatments. The struggles never end.

Despite the many challenges they are facing, Leiby and Goldy are doing their best to persevere and redirect their misfortune. They have seeked counsel from HaGaon HaRav Chaim Kanievsky Shlit’a, who has signed a letter on their behalf, that their intentions to save their family are pure.  They are working incredibly hard to pay off the medical bill. Leiby works 16-hour days and Goldy remains strong for her family as she shuttles her children from therapies and doctor appointments.

The Eingbars cannot keep up with the growing medical expenses alone. There are simply not enough hours in the day to earn enough money to pay for the procedures their young children have endured, and have yet to endure. Leiby and Goldy pray for the day where they can be a normal family, one without the stress of surgeries and doctors appointments. Until then, they are desperately seeking assistance so that they can give their children what they need and finally turn their backs on the misfortune they’ve endured.

The ‘second wave’ has officially arrived in Israel as numbers of coronavirus cases continue to rise worldwide. Most are back to work and there is a sense of fragile normalcy in the air.

The Vizhnitz Rebbe, Rav Ezrachi, Rav Feinstein, Rav Biderman, and Rav Finkel gathered in Bnei Brak recently to discuss the current state of the world, as well as to form a Beis Din on behalf of a group of impoverished orphans. The orphans in question are struggling to make their own weddings without their parents.

The rabbanim gave a bracha to all donors to the orphans’ wedding fund that they should have nachas from their children, health, and “easy parnassah.”

In light of the current COVID spike, this bracha is as needed as ever: Many have begun to see their grandparents and other high-risk relatives again, and hope that all will remain healthy and they will be able to continue. Even those who are not concerned about the virus itself are adapting financially to the rapidly shifting economy.

Readers can donate here to bring relief and joy to a group of young people who face humiliation & grief, and to receive this meaningful bracha
