“I was in high school when my parents lost their lives in a car crash. They had a family full of kids at home, and we lost them forever, just because of one person texting while driving. In the few years that have passed since we lost them, my siblings and I have really struggled. Losing parents turns a home completely upside down, and changes everyone in it forever.
 
Now that I’m a kallah, I feel their absence more than ever – I go alone to the different appointments. Everything comes out of my pocket from what I’ve saved up from my job. And ultimately, I’ll walk to my chuppah without them.” – Rachel*, 22

“Hello, I’m Shlomo, and this is the story of how my kallah and I went from young newly married couple to parents of 4, overnight.”
Thus begins the heart wrenching testimonial of 23-year-old Shlomo Azoulai, a Jerusalem resident. Daniel and his four younger siblings were raised single highhandedly by mother Sigalit Azoulai a”h, a young single mother who bravely faced many challenges in her life, the last of which was cancer.
Sigalit heroically managed to juggle her exhausting treatments with marrying off her eldest, and raising her younger children. The family struggled but did not reach its breaking point until last month when, after a tragic turn of events, Sigalit suffered a stroke and passed away due to complications.

Preparations have begun for one of the largest and most celebrated prayer gatherings in Israel. Each year, a staggering 300 avreichim from Kollel Rinah Shel Torah gather at the tomb of Rabbi Yonasan Ben Uziel, also known as ‘Amukah.’ Amukah is famous for the many Jews who have travelled from around the world to pray there for their zivug (soulmate), and have found their tefilos answered shortly afterward.

The eyes of the world are fixed upon the Jewish people. We have competed with the greatest empires in history. Where are they and where are we? We appear in the headlines of all forms of news media, and we are on the lips of world leaders daily.
Like it or not, We are relevant. 
Ohr Somayach presents four of the worlds greatest Jewish thinkers in our generation, Rabbi Nota Schiller, Rabbi Dr. Yitzchak Breitowitz, Rabbi Dr. Dovid Gottleib, and Rabbi Lipa Geldwerth who explain why our eyes, filled with tears, are fixed upon Jerusalem and ask,  “Why We Weep”.

HaRav Shmuel Kamenetsky shlit”a asked, “Is the mitzvah of V’ahavta L’reiacha Kamocha too demanding for us??”
