Though the world and its news sources seem to be teeming with tragedy after tragedy, human nature is such that we scroll past the horrors, detach ourselves, and assume we will never become their subject. Some families, however, are not so fortunate.
 
For the Bracha family, tragedy played the slow game. When Rabbi Yitzchok Bracha was first diagnosed with cancer, it was in his stomach. From there, the disease dodged treatment, skipping from location to location. It resided in the Rabbi’s shoulder, his legs, and ultimately – his brain.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.
