‫והרבה ארבה את‬ ‫זרעך ככוכבי השמים‬

The untold stories of couples waiting for a child to brighten their lives

By: Bonei Olam

‫בס"ד‬

Dear Friend of Bonei Olam, On a clear night not long ago, I gazed up to the heavens and saw stars – thousands of brilliant stars twinkling at me from way up high. I thought to myself, “this is the very same sky that Hashem showed to Avraham Avinu thousands of years ago, when He promised him children.”

and with your help, we will spend more, if there is even a slight chance that they can have a child.

Hashem said, “‫והרבה ארבה את זרעך‬ ‫ –ככוכבי השמים‬and I will increase your children as the stars in the heavens.” It occurred to me that if every Jewish child is a star, then we at Bonei Olam are bringing stars to light.

Joining Bonei Olam will bring you much satisfaction. I know this personally. Every year on Rosh Hashanah, as I walk to shul, I make a cheshbon hanefesh. I think to myself – how am I better this year than last? There is, unfortunately, not nearly as much personal growth as I would have liked. But I tell myself – this year, there were some 750 new Bonei Olam babies. There are 750 new stars brought into waiting arms. And with that thought, I feel ready to start a new year.

Today there are close to 7,500 Bonei Olam stars. They twinkle, they shine, they transform empty homes and hearts to light-filled worlds. And behind those Twinkling Stars are the people who brought them to light. You are one of those people. With every dollar you donated, every treatment you sponsored, every Bonei Olam event you attended, you brought a distant star to life. But our work is far from over. Because right here in our midst, in nearly every family and on nearly every street, there are couples who search the heavens for their own twinkling stars. They yearn to embrace a child; to raise him; to delight in the shine in his starry eyes. They have been waiting for two, eight, eighteen years. We have spent many thousands of dollars on helping them –

This book will tell you some of their stories. And your participation in this auction will fund treatments that will bring even the most distant stars into the loving embrace of their waiting parents.

I invite you to share this special zechus with me. I personally ask you to join us as we venture beyond the horizon and give waiting couples a chance at the brachah given by Hashem to Avraham Avinu over 3700 years ago - ‫והרבה ארבה‬ ‫את זרעך ככוכבי השמים‬. May the merit of helping Bonei Olam fill your life with brachah, joy and the light of beautiful twinkling stars. Warmly,

Schlomo Bochner

Some people are still waiting for a little star to brighten their lives. They long to gaze into twinkling eyes, to hear a tinkling laugh, to delight in a child who leaves a trail of stardust behind his every move.

Join us in bringing Twinkling Stars closer to those who wait.

he first time any of them brought up “the topic” was after Rivky’s baby’s bris. They had walked home together, and he’d gotten all emotional about the baby’s name. “So there’s finally a name Chaim for my zeide,” he said. “I’m so happy.” She’d answered, “Uh huh,” and he’d continued. “If I would have a baby now, I’d really want to give the name too.” “Uh huh,” she had said again, as if it was the only word she knew. He’d looked at her, puzzled. “Is something wrong?” he asked. “Nothing,” she’d said. “Just -” and the words came tumbling out. “Oh, I wish we’d be having a baby already.” She’d swallowed then and given a little laugh that sounded like a cough. “I’m overdoing things, I guess. I mean, it’s not even been a year.” But two years and many conversations later, her wish still hadn’t come true. And it was getting harder to ignore the way she felt about it. She was surprised

the huge rock in her throat. Or the time someone asked how long ago she’d gotten married. Or Purim, when she had to ooh and aah over her sister’s kids’ costumes and keep up her reputation as Best Aunt Ever, even though she felt like running into a room and locking the door and not coming out until Shavuos. Then one day, her husband brought up a new idea. It’s time to call Bonei Olam, he said, and she shuddered. Calling Bonei Olam meant they had a Problem – capital P. And she so badly wanted to stick her head under her pillow and make believe everything was just fine, thank you. Still, there was no denying the Problem, so one day she called. And one day a few weeks later, she had an appointment. And even though the fee for her care was $18,000, and there was no way, no how, she could pay that amount, Bonei Olam had made sure everything would work out. They had negotiated with the doctor and made a payment plan and paid the bill!

Funding Treatment

The average cost of a single treatment is between $18,000 to $25,000. Many couples need several treatments, with some needing more expensive procedures.

Bonei Olam’s mission is to ensure that funds never stand in the way of treatment. Our policy is generally to help a couple as long as there is even a slight medical chance that they can have a child.

so much effort and money to help. Really, she and her husband were one couple. If they did this for everyone who called… well, that’s a lot. In any case, she didn’t know what they would’ve done if not for Bonei Olam. She did know one thing. They would never be able to do this themselves. The balance in her savings account was $936.27. With her salary as a teacher and her husband’s paltry paycheck, they weren’t going to see bigger numbers any time soon. She shuddered. That meant – without Bonei Olam, she would never have a chance at a baby. So this help from Bonei Olam, it wasn’t just money. It was her life, her future. That stroller coming down the street, the tiny shoes in the store window, the yellow school bus rumbling past them – maybe – maybe soon – no, she wouldn’t go there. It’s a good thing she didn’t. Because a few weeks later, she was back at square one. The treatment had failed. It was over. All her dreams were just that – dreams. They’d floated away like a helium balloon,

The doctor had said she had a good chance of having a baby. But they couldn’t do another treatment – not for thousands more! And she wouldn’t be so pushy as to ask Bonei Olam again. Oh, there were other organizations. Bikur cholims and such. But they mostly told her to call Bonei Olam. She couldn’t bring herself to do that. So she clenched her lips and squared her shoulders and went to work and cleaned her kitchen and went to work and cleaned her kitchen and tried to push the thought out of her mind. It lasted for two days. On the third, her Bonei Olam counselor called to hear how things were going. And a few weeks later, she was back at the doctor – with Bonei Olam’s help. “We won’t stop helping you, as long as it takes,” the counselor said. “As long as there’s any hope, even if there’s just a tiny chance at success, we’ll continue to make sure you get the care you need.” In the end, it took four appointments and many

And behind every single baby born and every couple whose hearts

9:00 am Rabbi Bochner has already spoken to several people this

morning, but the first official phone call of the day comes from a couple in Ashdod. They’ve been married for six years and have already been through the infertility grind several times. They heard about a specialist in America who’s helped people with exactly their problem. Does Rabbi Bochner know of him? Should they come see him? Rabbi Bochner knows the doctor well – but tells the couple not to book tickets.

call to a generous donor and gives effusive thanks for sponsoring one week of the Andrology Lab – a $25,000 gift that can help people with no apparent other path to parenthood.

In an amazing stroke of hashgacha pratis, this very doctor will be coming to Israel soon. The visit is a project of Bonei Olam without Borders, a program that brings top fertility specialists to Israel, sparing couples the cost and hassle of travel. The doctor will see many couples during his trip, and every slot in his appointment book is filled weeks in advance. The consultation – and any ensuing treatment – will be covered by Bonei Olam.

10:00 am Urgent! There’s a couple who needs a time-sensitive appointment with a specific doctor, but the receptionist is totally unsympathetic. There are absolutely no openings for three months, she says. She doesn’t seem touched by the couple’s desperation. Rabbi Bochner sets everything aside to pull strings – and gets the couple an appointment that very afternoon.

10:30 am Meeting with a philanthropist. Rabbi Bochner presents one couple’s story, along with bills totaling over $100,000. Then he asks, “how much is a baby worth?” The philanthropist shrugs; it’s not a question anyone can answer. Rabbi Bochner pulls out his trump card - a photo of himself being sandek at a bris. “This is the baby born from those bills. Was he worth $100,000?” The philanthropist tears up and writes a check that gives hope to another couple.

While Rabbi Schlomo Bochner’s schedule can’t possibly fit the typical workday, we followed him for nearly an entire day – to give you a perspective on the man who considers it his mission in life to, with much siyata dishmaya, help bring Twinkling Stars down to those who wait.

5:00 pm There’s a couple that suffered multiple miscarriages. Now the wife is expecting again, and they are terrified. Rabbi Bochner offers some kind words – and a check for the best high-risk doctor in the nation.

5:15 pm Cancer is the saddest disease. There’s a fifteen year old girl starting treatment, and her father wants to make sure her chances at a family won’t be affected. Rabbi Bochner explains the teen’s options and offers funding.

6:30 pm The father of a bachur in shidduchim calls. There’s a genetic disorder in the family, and three of the boy’s siblings are affected. This particular disease is not part of the typical pre-marital test. Can Bonei Olam help? Can they determine the risk of this boy having a child with the disease? And are there any other options? Rabbi Bochner assures the father that his son can have a future – and connects him to Bonei Olam’s genetics program. The program has already helped dozens of children from families with genetic issues, offering life-altering solutions to people who would otherwise be afraid to get married.

6:45 pm The wedding calendar is booked solid. Tonight there’s the chuppah of the child of a dear friend and supporter of Bonei Olam. At a different wedding, there’s a kibbud - the brachah of Yotzer HaAdam, in appreciation of his role in the simcha. The chosson is one of Bonei Olam's first babies!

thing. A ping on his cell phone comes through. Mazel tov! It’s a girl! Rabbi Bochner returns the text with a call. The father is exuberant. “Rabbi Bochner, can you believe it?” he cries. “After all this, I am holding my daughter in my arms – a real, live baby.” Then he whispers. “Rabbi Bochner, this baby isn’t just my child. She’s yours. Yours and Bonei Olam’s.” The clock ticks on. Hour after hour, day after day; an endless round of calls and conferences and checks that bring couples waiting for a child that much closer to the joy and delight they yearn for.

BONEI OLAM AUCTION 2018

When Bonei Olam first opened its doors, no one could have foreseen what a force it would become in the Jewish world. Yet in less than twenty years, the organization achieved a measure of success that can only be described as miraculous. Despite the nay-sayers who said that it would be impossible to raise the huge amounts necessary to be effective; notwithstanding the fact that the field was largely uncharted, Bonei Olam forged ahead, funding one treatment and then another and another. Today Bonei Olam has helped bring about the birth of 7491 babies – kein yirbu!

Just looked at poor Humpty, and said, “Ahem!”

BONEI OLAM AUCTION 2018

I’ve been looking for you,

Twinkling Star. I’ve been searching the heavens, studying constellations, riding my dreams into the diamond-studded blackness, in the hope that I’d somehow find you. I know you’re there, my Twinkling Star. Maybe you’re hiding in the Milky Way, maybe you’re in a different galaxy. Together with Bonei Olam, I’m determined to pull you out of the skies and into my longing arms.

Please don’t make me wait much longer.
