A new day starts early. Chananya, 7 months old, does what any baby would do: He searches for his Mommy. But Chananya is in Hadassah Ein Kerem hospital, and his Mommy is at home caring for his siblings. A nurse comes to his aid instead.
Chananya tries to cry, but his lungs are too weak for him to make a sound. Instead he sputters and chokes, and the machine he is hooked up to begins to expand his lungs for him. He stares at the hospital ceiling, hears the beeping of monitors, and longs for that place he used to stay: That place called Home.

It was a moment she will certainly never forget: Raizel Kahana was holding her 7-month-old baby Chananya when he suddenly went limp. Chananya’s parents desperately tried to do CPR as the baby turned blue. Ambulances rushed him to the hospital, where doctors found that the baby’s lungs no longer worked independently. He was attached to oxygen machines, where he has stayed since.
This comes as an especially devastating blow to the Kahanas: Chananya was their “miracle baby” after years of treatments. Now the tiny baby lays in a hospital bed, surrounded by monitors, struggling for every breath. His parents, a tutor and a teacher, have upended their lives to stand by his side, bringing him toys and consulting with doctors.

Three months ago, throngs of terrified humans sought refuge from their mother country, a country that was being torn apart by the rage of war. Hundreds of Jews from Odessa, Ukraine left their homes in images hauntingly similar to those from the holocaust, clutching their loved ones with nothing but the bare necessities they would need to survive. Many found their way to their roots, to Israel. 
Although news headlines about the war in Ukraine have dwindled down to almost nothing, most of the Jews from Odessa are still stranded, in a country none other than Germany. Rabbi Shneir Vigler, a well-known Rabbi from the Jewish community of Odessa, reports that members of his community are going through hell.

For 25 years, Baila & Mordechai Goldman’s respective roles were clear: Baila raised their 10 children and devoted her days to running the home. Mordechai learned Torah and edited seforim, as well as fully handling the family’s finances. Whether it be paying bills or handling rent, Mordechai made sure his family had what they needed.
That’s part of what made it so earth-shattering when, at the age of 47, Mordechai passed away. He was with his children when he collapsed, hit his head, and fell into a coma. Three weeks later, Rabbi Mordechai Goldman passed away. Hundreds of mourners came to pay their respects.

“My parents were both murdered in a terrorist attack when I was only four and a half years old. I’ve tried so hard to remember my parents, to remember how it felt to be loved…But my mind comes up blank. For years, I deeply longed to have a family. To have somewhere where I belonged. 
Boruch Hashem, last month I became engaged to an incredible boy named Gavi. With no parents to help us, we are alone and terrified of how we will get by without support. R’ Mordechai Gross has heard about our case and is advocating for me and 62 other orphans in similar challenging situations. Without your generosity, we won’t manage on our own.

Sobs were heard through the crowd, as hundreds gathered recently to escort the body of Rabbi Mordechai Goldman, 47, to his grave. Rabbi Goldman collapsed suddenly in front of his children, and was in a coma for three weeks before he returned his soul to its Creator.
All eyes were on the Rabbi’s children, young boys with long red peyos and puffy eyes from weeping. The youngest hung his head and cried openly over his father’s body, as onlookers struggled to maintain composure.
The Goldman children are so encompassed in grief they haven’t yet realized their immediate danger: Without their father, there is no income for the coming month. Rabbi Goldman had been solely responsible for the family’s finances.

The tragic recent passing of Rabbi Mordechai Goldman serves as a powerful reminder of how fragile a life can be. Goldman, 47,  was home with his children when he suddenly collapsed. For three weeks, his wife and 10 children sat by the side of his hospital bed, and his community prayed for his survival. In a shocking turn, Goldman passed away, leaving his family and congregation devastated.
Rabbi Goldman was a dedicated family man and Torah scholar, who edited seforim. Without him, his widow Baila is at a loss: Not only did Rabbi Goldman solely handle his family’s finances for 25 years, his wife does not even know how to access their bank account.

Rivka Horowitz* couldn’t believe the day was finally here: The birth of her first child, and the beginning of the rest of her life as a mother.
