They Lost Their Abba; Their Everything. Don’t Let Them Lose More.
[COMMUNICATED]
He was waiting at the bus stop, sefer in hand.
Not wasting a single minute.
That was Rabbi Yosef David Hy”d — immersed in Torah until his very last breath.
A terrorist’s bullet ended his life in an instant. And with that his family’s world fell apart.
Four orphans. The oldest is just ten. The baby is barely one.
They don’t understand how Abba, the man who woke up every morning with the sunrise to learn, isn’t coming home again.
They will never again run to greet him at the door.
Never again hear his voice bent over a sefer.
Never again feel his arms around them… or see that smile that lit up their days.
And his wife is left alone to carry the weight of their home, their pain, their future.
A young widow, broken, trying to be both father and mother, when all she wants is her husband back.
He built his home on simplicity, bitachon, and joy.
Even with the little they had, he gave them everything.
Now their everything is gone.
We can’t bring him back.
But we can make sure nothing else is missing.
This is not “someone else’s story.” It’s ours.
A family of Torah, torn apart in Jerusalem, now depending on us to survive.
Please open your heart. Open your hand.
Give now. Because their tomorrow depends on us today.
