Land of Little T

here once was a couple who, in their journey through life, chanced upon Land of Little. It was a charming place; unlike any they had ever seen before. Everything was tiny. The people were six inches tall; the homes, like tiny dollhouses; the parks, perfect toy-like landscapes that looked like such fun for those who fit.

“Ooooh,” said the woman, as she knelt to gaze into a miniscule storefront display of tiny outfits; and pined for an entire drawer filled with mini clothes.

“Ahhh,” said the man, as he placed a suddenly-giant foot gently between slides and trees; his heart aching with an irrepressible urge to lift just one Tiny Person, so he could swing him up high and make him giggle.

But they were outsiders, and though they would have done anything in the world to enter, they could only gaze from above at the tiny marvels that made Land of Little so wondrous.

Make Land of Little come alive.

You can grant couples entry to a world where tiny clothes and playthings fill real homes; where Tiny People swing over their fathers’ shoulders; where giggles and laughter turn every day into a Big Dream come true.

Enter Land of Little.

from our founder Dear Friend,

There are times when I look back at the incredible journey of the past twenty-plus years. I reflect upon the sacred zechus of having played a part in bringing close to 10,000 neshomos into the world, kein yirbu!

The sheer numbers; they boggle the mind!

And, like everyone else, I ask myself; how?

What is it that drives Klal Yisroel to come through with staggering numbers, time and again and again?

When you think about it, it comes down to one word. Empathy!

We are blessed with the ability to put ourselves into the shoes of each and every one of those anguished young couples, aching for the elusive dream of parenthood.

When “we” become “them”, then of course, there’s no cost too staggering, no hurdle too daunting and no amount of failures too overwhelming.

How fortunate we are to be blessed with the virtue of empathy ingrained in our DNA. And how blessed I am to bear witness to this phenomenon on an everyday basis.

It is with this in mind that I introduce you to Bonei Olam’s “Land of Little.”

As you are transported to the world of so many in our community, stranded on the outside of the dynamic Land of Little, yearning for the opportunity to enter, let your heart become one with theirs. Remember, empathy goes a long way toward sharing, soothing and ultimately relieving the immense burden of pain, distress and longing.

Join us as we carry on our mission of leaving no stone unturned on behalf of every couple that needs us!

Regards,

Schlomo Bochner

here’s a Land I long to enter,

It’s under lock and key,

My hopes and dreams are stuck inside, But the gate is barred to me.

It’s hard to grasp that almost all, Are welcomed in for free,

While I am forced to view from far, For me, there’s no entry.

So when you read my story,

Won’t you help unlock the gate?

Join the Bonei Olam auction, Before it gets too late!

And when I enter Land of Little,

Full-fledged member of the state, And behold my Tiny Person, You and I will celebrate.

I weep, I beg, I bang on doors, Cry, “Don’t you understand?

I’m meant to be here - all my life, I’m dreaming of this Land.”

But I can only watch from far, Witness this wonderland,

Where tiny boys and girls cavort, While I have empty hands.

When a couple waits

A

h, the mailman,” Malky said, at the sound of jingling keys. A moment later, she was outside, bringing in the day’s stash. Her children joked about the way she waited for the mail. Like Elter-Bubby waiting for word from der heim, they’d say. As if anyone sent letters nowadays.

The fact was, going for the mail meant a break from the ho-hum ordinariness of her life. Besides, she liked to say, you never know. Maybe something interesting would come.

Today it was just the usual, and she sifted through the stack. Bill, bill, junk, invitation, catalog, junk. She checked the invitation and smiled. Raizy was making another chasunah. Nice! The wedding was in Ateres Rochel, on Monday, March 1. Beis Adar.

Beis Adar! Hashem! Malky reeled. Five years ago, on Beis Adar, they’d danced the night away. And now just seeing the date in print was a punch to the gut.

Over the past five years, she’d watched Chezky and his wife go from starry-eyed bliss to edginess to stoic strength. She knew very little about what was really going on. Just that yes, they had seen a doctor; no, they didn’t want to talk about it; please, could she tell Cousin Eli that they didn’t want to be kvatter at his baby’s bris. But every so often, she’d see a chink in their armor. Her own armor was rock solid. At least in public.

Only Hashem knew how she wept, with only her pillow as witness.

Toby, who’d gotten married three years after Chezky, already had an adorable baby, and she’d stopped inviting the two couples for the same meals. And now his fifth anniversary was coming up! Gevald! She didn’t know what to do. Should she mark the anniversary, or not? Celebrating would feel like rubbing the pain in their faces. But ignoring it would feel terrible, too; as if there was something wrong with them as a couple.

Whatever she did, she’d be walking on shattered glass, shards cutting her skin and heart with every step.

Malky thrust the invitation under a pile on her counter, and went back to her peeler; attacking a spud with quick, forceful strokes. And the peels and tears fell together in a sorrowful cascade, a tsunami of anguish from a mother’s broken heart. *

“Can I see? Can I see?”

T

he entire fourth grade crowded around Rivky’s desk, passing around a loose-leaf festooned with photos. One showed an impish toddler at his firstbirthday cake smash, another showed Rivky and her siblings in matching outfits. But the shot that got the most oohs and aahs was the latest addition – an angelic flower-bedecked newborn, fast asleep in a heart-shaped basket. The comments and compliments came thick and fast.

“Your niece is precious.”

“Does your sister let you hold her?”

“Who does she look like?”

No one noticed that Chana Leah had slinked off to her desk, blinking fast so her tears would stay inside. For the hundredth time, she studied her own loose-leaf, with its three-year-old photo of herself at her sister Esty’s wedding, and asked herself the question she’d learned never to ask anyone at home: when would her sister have a baby? *

hey came by car, by foot, by bus; lugging precious shapeless loads. Slowly, the room filled up, as one by one, they found places around the dining room table and in every corner of the room.

They were “the lebedige class,” the group that always had something to laugh about. But today, ten years past graduation, no one was laughing. The atmosphere was charged. They were here to do something – the only thing they could – for the one classmate who was missing. Baila was first. She uncovered the bowl in front of her, exposing a mound of dough, and tore off a chunk. Then she swallowed hard and began.

“Baruch atta Hashem,” she said, her eyes shut tight, “asher kideshanu…” – her voice cracked – “lihafrish challah” – and through her sobs, she whispered the final words, “min ha’isa.”

Around the room they went, forty friends, forty blessings, forty pain-racked “Ameins”; and their sobs and tears rent heavens and hearts.

When they were done, they gathered their bowls and bags and left for home, where, surrounded by babies, kitchen corners and the paraphernalia of family life, they braided challah and prayed again for Yehudis, their dear, dear friend, who was still waiting.

Parents are hurting.

Siblings are hurting.

Friends are hurting.

Take away the pain.

Where Am I? Did I just land in Timbuktu?

Peru? Baku? Kalamazoo?

It’s weird – but tell me, will you, where; I am – and how did I get here?

All I wanted was a child,

Say, how’d my journey get so wild?

I battled storms, I nearly drowned, Until like Gulliver, I found,

That thrust by waves, I had been hurled, and landed in this strange new world.

The people look so very queer;

Long white coats that instill fear,

The words they use make my heart squeeze, Their language is Medicalese,

Such strange cuisine! It comes in pills, With side dishes of pricey bills.

Worst of all, they cannot say,

How much longer I must stay, To exit, listen, this is wild,

All I need is my own child.

You can help me – it’s no riddle, Just take part in Land of Little.

Soul Survivor

At a bris in Denver, Colorado, eighty-year-old William Klaiman sat on the Kisei Shel Eliyahu. He wore a stiff satin yarmulke, and he looked around the shul in awe. So Yiddishkeit was alive in America! His family line would live on! Even after Buchenwald had destroyed their bodies; even after America had stolen their souls; even after infertility had nearly snatched away his very last chance at Jewish continuity.

This is his family’s story.

26

H

itler did everything possible to destroy the Klaimans. First his henchmen crammed all of them – even adorable little Anyushka, the baby and darling of the family – into the Lodz ghetto. Then, over the next five years, he starved, tortured, worked, gassed, and marched them to death. Hy”d! But he couldn’t get them all. Zev Volf survived. At war’s end, the 21-year-old found himself the sole survivor of his extended family.

The question was, would he be a soul survivor?

Would there even be a soul survivor; a member of the family who would carry his ancestors’ way of life to a new generation of Jews? At first, it seemed likely. Zev Volf was a true Litvak, and when he met his wife in the Fuerth DP camp near Nuremberg, he lived as he always had.

But then came the long, hard voyage to America.

The four-thousand-mile watery expanse seemed to symbolize a complete break. Lodz was far, far away. America beckoned.

of belongings and a cherished album of photos from the DP camp.

William’s granddaughter, Tauba Fitzig, recalls: “I loved to look at the album. There was a photo of my mother, who was born in the DP camp, wearing a sweater knit from old socks. And there were wedding pictures of emaciated young people who had lost everything, and were determined to start again. There was so much resilience, so much strength. These people were my heroes.”

But the photos were a paltry link to a different world. True, the family lit the menorah on Chanukah, and on Pesach, not a crumb of bread passed their lips. But it wasn’t enough to keep their children from marrying out. Tauba’s mother is Jewish, so she passed her lineage to her children. Tauba’s uncles had no Jewish descendants – one married a non-Jewish woman and had no children; the other never got married.

If someone asks you why you don’t eat pork, tell them it’s because you’re Jewish.

Here, a man would enter a building as Zev Volf, and exit as William. Here, they told him, ‘Things are different. We don’t eat kosher anymore.’

And, ‘Shabbos is a day like any other.’ Like tens of thousands of others, he listened.

William, his wife Elsa, and their baby girl Linda (forget Luba!) moved to the steel-manufacturing city of Pueblo, Colorado. They carried two little bags

Tauba’s sister is Jewish – but as things stand now, seems to have little chance at having Jewish descendants. That leaves Tauba, who always felt connected to her past.

Her grandfather gave her Jewish pride.

Tauba recalls a teenage phase as a vegan. She’d taken up the cause of animal cruelty (ironically the same cause the Nazis held dear; human cruelty didn’t faze them) and decided not to eat meat. The phase passed quickly, and she went back to her regular diet. But she couldn’t bring herself to eat pork. Her grandfather’s advice was spot-on: “If someone asks you why you don’t eat pork, tell them it’s because you’re Jewish.” Eventually, after a complex years-long journey, Tauba got engaged to Nachum – and embarked on a new way of life.

“It was so obvious that Hashem orchestrated our relationship. Things kept happening. There were so many details, so many pieces of the puzzle that came together, to bring us to each other.”

At one point, she had an epiphany.

“Hashem cares about the details! He cares about what I eat for lunch. He cares about the way I spend Shabbos! He cares if my elbows are covered!”

When she brought her bearded, yarmulke-clad

27

chosson to Colorado to meet her grandfather, he was nonplussed. What happened to the ‘things are different here’ story he’d been fed? Was it a lie? Could it be possible to live in America and remain true to Yiddishkeit?

At Tauba’s chuppah, she sensed the presence of her ancestors. An entire chain of Lodzer grandparents and great grandparents seemed to whisper, ‘you are our future.

Through you, our memory will live on.’ The night was full of hope.

That hope carried her and her new husband through one year and then another. But with each passing month, she felt her ancestors’ memories crying out at her. She couldn’t bear it.

says. “Here we were, seeking the very same thing Avraham Avinu had sought – Jewish progeny. And his children, whom we didn’t know at all, were using his middah of chessed to help us achieve it.”

“Bonei Olam has no agenda. They wanted nothing from us. All they wanted was to help another Jewish couple build a family.”

If I don’t have a child, there’ll be no one left!

“The worst was when we realized that the real impediment to having a family was money. The doctor said our problem was treatable – for sixty thousand dollars. To us, that was like saying we needed to go to the moon. It was impossible.”

And then they heard about Bonei Olam.

“I must have a child,” she cried, when she made the call. “You have to understand. I’m the last branch. If I don’t have a child, there’ll be no one left. The Lodzer Klaiman’s will be gone. It’ll be like cutting off a branch of Klal Yisroel!” Bonei Olam did not hesitate. They took on the case, and wrote the check that gave the Fitzigs a future.

The Fitzigs were astounded.

“For me, a baalas teshuva, Bonei Olam encapsulated Jewish goodness at its best,” she

Today, Tauba and her husband have three beautiful children.

At her son’s bris, where her grandfather was honored as sandek, it struck her:

“This child is my family’s only link between Avraham Avinu and the future. If not for Bonei Olam, Hitler – with the help of assimilation – would have succeeded in making our family Judenrein. This child is transplanting the memory of all my ancestors to a new generation.”

Zev Volf /William Klaiman passed away in peace, secure in the knowledge that he could face his ancestors with pride, because he was not just the sole survivor of the family. He had also lived to see that it still had a soul.

Tauba and her husband, Nachum Fitzig, live in Hollywood, Florida, with their beautiful, growing family. Their ancestors must take great nachas from the sight of the peyos-framed face of their ten-year-old son, Yossel, who loves to learn and daven; and their daughters, Chana, named for her great-aunt Anyushka, and Eda. Through them, the Klaimans of Lodz live on.

Rabbi Schlomo Bochner, himself a child of survivors, grew up on the stories of the aunts, uncles and cousins he should have known. Bonei Olam is his personal revenge against their murderers.

One and a half million children were killed, and thousands of family lines were completely destroyed in the Holocaust. In America, millions more were lost in the spiritual holocaust of intermarriage and assimilation. It’s as if their neshamos were gunned down and gassed, in this world and the next, with almost no one wise enough to shed a tear.

But Bonei Olam and its donors are doing everything possible to preserve family trees, so that no branch in Klal Yisroel is severed forever.

Miracles.

Wonders.

Salvations.

S

ometimes things happen at the strangest times.

Rabbi Shlomo Bochner, director of Bonei Olam, had just kindled the fifth light on his menorah, and the words “al nisecha v’al niflaosecha v’al yeshuosecha” still hung in the air. Then the phone rang.

“We’re in the middle of a seudas hoda’ah,” the caller said, over the din of what was obviously a party.

This is his story.

Eleven-year-old Malky Berger was a dramatic child.

When she got a paper cut, it was guuushing; when her stomach hurt, she walked around doubled over.

So when she complained about a hammer pounding inside her head, Mrs. Berger didn’t make much of it. But then she found Malky on the floor, thrashing about in the throes of a full-blown seizure – and knew this was real.

She was right. It was cancer.

A brain tumor.

It’s hard to describe what a six-letter word can do to a family – how it can take big, important things like tuition and Chanukah plans and shidduchim, and make them fade into nothingness; how it can take a normal, regular family and flip their lives over so that nothing is the same and there’s a very real sense that it might never be.

To make matters worse, the doctors in Israel were not very positive about the little girl’s chances at survival. So when a medical askan advised them to go Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Mr. Berger grasped at the chance to save Malky’s life, and flew her to New York.

41

In Memorial, the doctors outlined Malky’s treatment plan – brain surgery and then aggressive chemotherapy and radiation – while Mr. Berger desperately tried to follow their rapid-fire English. They went through the risks and side effects.

“Hair loss is expected, as is nausea and weakness,” the doctor was saying. He rattled off a list of possible things that could happen – a jumble of words in a foreign language that this Israeli father barely grasped. And just as he was wondering if there was something he couldn’t afford to miss, he heard the word “fertility.”

“Fertility?” he asked, echoing the last thing he’d heard.

The doctor nodded.

“Yes. With this particular treatment protocol, it’s possible that she won’t be able to build a family.”

No family? But Malky was a child! And how could he deal with this now, with brain surgery taking place tomorrow; with her very life in the balance? Then again, how could he not?

To complicate matters, Malky was scheduled to begin chemo very soon after surgery. There was no time to think, no time for anything. There was just a looming, impossible choice – his child’s future or her life.

This doctor didn’t understand, Mr. Berger thought. To him, the goal was a cure – at any price. It meant seeing Malky alive, five, ten, twenty years down the line. But what kind of a future would she have, if she couldn’t have a family? Would she be destined to suffer the effects forever, because she’d had cancer as a child?

Would she never have a chance at motherhood? What could he do?

And so he paced up and down the hospital’s polished corridors, trying to make an impossible choice. Until a

Jewish nurse stopped him.

“There’s an organization you should reach out to,” she said. “Bonei Olam.” And she scribbled a phone number on a slip of paper.

“I called you then,” Mr. Berger told Rabbi Bochner. “It was the fifth night of Chanukah, like today. And you told me that I didn’t have to choose; that we could save Malky’s future, without further risking her life.

Somehow, you arranged it all – you spoke to the doctors and made sure her cancer treatment would not affect her ability to be a mother. It wasn’t easy.

There was a whirlwind of action - alternatives were discussed, things were done, all before she ever got her first dose of chemo or radiation. And you paid for everything.”

“Tonight we are celebrating a seudas hoda’ah. We went through gehinom, and came out on the other side.

Malky is in remission.”

“You know, Rabbi Bochner, there were many people who helped Malky survive. There were askanim who sent us to big doctors, donors who paid for treatments, friends and relatives who cared for our other children and sent us meals for months. We are forever thankful to them all. But if not for you, Rabbi Bochner, we wouldn’t be making this seudah tonight.”

“Because what kind of simcha would it be if we knew that her cure had come at the expense of her future?

This seudah is possible because of Bonei Olam.”

Rabbi Bochner hung up the phone, tears in his eyes.

And then, with his Chanukah candles still casting their glow, he repeated the words that had been interrupted by the call.

"‫כדי להודות ולהלל לשמך הגדול על נסיך ועל נפלאותך ועל‬ ‫"ישועותך‬.

Then he got quiet.

Real Bonei Olam babies, real messages from our inbox.

Your dollars make you Hashem's partner in so many lives.

To our Bonei Olam couples: Thanks for sharing!

To Rabbi Bochner and Bonei Olam: we cannot thank you enough. You’ve turned our hopes, dreams, and tefilos into reality.

Our son cost thousands of dollars to bring into the world, but we know that for Bonei Olam, every neshama is priceless.

This little note was written by parents. Parents of a priceless baby boy. We need to write this

in caps - PARENTS(!) - We still try to wrap our brains and hearts around a word of such magnitude. We want to scream it, we want to sing it, we want to hang it on billboards: “We are PARENTS, and Bonei Olam helped us achieve this title!”

Our road to parenthood was paved with much challenge and fear. We hobbled down

that road, stumbled, regrouped and stumbled some more. Along the road we were introduced to Bonei Olam. From that point forward, we were airlifted and carried.

Our warm, dedicated counselor, Rabbi Nosson Tauber, was literally involved through

all the turbulence, guiding us, encouraging us, and helping us demystify this process.

As we hold our precious baby boy close to our hearts, our hearts hold tremendous gratitude towards Rabbi Bochner and all supporters of Bonei Olam.

Our counselor, Rivky, always made herself available to us - sometimes initiating before we even asked.

Our hakaras hatov to Rabbi Bochner and Bonei Olam accompanies us through every day, every year, and every milestone with our precious daughter. You’ve made our dreams possible.

45

Not a day goes by that I don’t look at my daughter and marvel at the miracle of her life. Our counselor Esther and the Bochners feel like family to us.

Thank you for helping our dreams come true. Our daughter is everything we hoped for and more - beyond a blessing! We are so grateful for all the help we received from Bonei Olam!

Thank you Bonei Olam! Your financial help made a huge difference for us. We couldn’t have had our beautiful son without you!

We were amazed at Bonei Olam’s counselors’ knowledge – even the doctors take your opinions into account!

Soon after we got married, we found out that we had a genetic issue. Naive as we were, we thought that an intelligent, successful couple like ourselves would not need help from an organization to navigate the process. One year and two failed treatments later, we reached out to Bonei Olam and got connected with Rabbi Landau. Rabbi Landau helped us find a new physician, financed our treatments, and arranged case conferences with a board of physicians, when our "simple" case did not end up being as simple as we thought it would be. Every family has three partners: the father, mother, and Hashem. Our family has a fourth partner: Bonei Olam. After many treatments, we have two beautiful daughters that for years were only a dream. Thank you for helping us become a family.

Thank you, Shaindy Weinberger for giving us the hope and courage we needed during the hardest times.

Thank you for our miracles!

Thank you, Bonei Olam, for Gene-a-Rations! Thank you, Rabbi Chaim Landau, for your dedication to Klal Yisroel! The two gifts we’ve been granted with your help give us the koach each day to care for our other gifts. (From a couple that had two healthy children with Bonei Olam’s assistance, after the birth of a their older children, born with a genetic disorder. Bonei Olam helped isolate the faulty gene and avoid its appearance in the future.)

This Rosh Hashanah, I couldn’t believe the difference in my life. I am no longer that poor childless woman who pours her heart out in shul all day. I was home with my baby! I had to run to be in time to hear the shofar! On Simchas Torah, I used to watch everyone come with their babies and children.

Fathers would throw their children in the air - while I would choke back tears, and watch my husband clutch the Sefer Torah tighter as he davened for our pain to end. This year, I watched my husband dancing with our little princess, with a joy he never knew existed. Every night, when I wake up for my baby, I remember the lonely, sleepless nights. Oh, the joy of getting up for our little baby! I could go on and on.

After many years of so much pain, we are so thankful for every blessing that our little princess brings us. Bonei Olam – and our ever-patient counselor and personal malach, Rabbi Nussen Tauber – was there for us, with funds and with answers to our endless questions. We are forever grateful!

Second Thought

A No-Brainer

R

abbi Bochner often finds people waiting for him after davening, for impromptu consultations. So he wasn’t surprised that when he stopped into a local shul for Mincha, the rav approached him.

“There’s a man here struggling with secondary infertility. He has just one child, and is desperate for more,” the rav said. “Can you help him?” Rabbi Bochner politely turned down the request. Bonei Olam was helping people waiting for their first child, he explained.

Secondary infertility was not being funded at the time.

Then came COVID – and the rav became critically ill. Soon afterward, Rabbi Bochner found himself in the shul again.

Remarkably, the young man in question was there, too, reciting Tehillim with passion. Rabbi Bochner was stirred.

“I’m going to help this couple, as a zechus for their rav,” he thought, and approached the fellow, to tell him that he was going to take on the case. Several months passed, and Rabbi Bochner kept up with the couple’s progress. The wife had begun taking medications, and there was a major treatment scheduled, when the couple visited the office.

“We had a yeshuah!” they exclaimed. “Without treatment!”

Apparently, Hashem had accepted Rabbi Bochner’s sacrifice, and granted this couple, who had waited nine years for their child to have a sibling, the brachah they sought.

Bonei Olam has since established the Secondary Infertility Fund, to assist the many couples who have one child, but yearn for more. The fund was created with $1.5 million dollars raised after a Charidy campaign’s initial goal was reached.

Dollars create families.

A Single Chance

G

itty V. was close to 40 and single when her world came crashing down. She had cancer – and though the doctors said she had a good chance at a cure, they also said her treatment protocol would destroy her chance at having a family. There was a way to change the situation – but it would cost many thousands of dollars.

W

hen a young teen in New York was diagnosed with a brain tumor, her parents were gratified to hear that it was operable. But then the doctor explained the repercussions of surgery. The growth was on the pituitary gland, the hormone-production center of the body. Removal of the gland meant the end of hormone production – and there was no replacement available. That meant the end of her chance at a family, the doctors said.

But did it?

Horrified, Gitty reached out to several organizations for help, but their answer was unanimous. “It doesn’t pay. You aren’t married, anyway. It isn’t worth it.” But Rabbi Bochner thought differently. Bonei Olam funded the procedure that protected Gitty’s future. Ten years later, on Erev Rosh Hashanah, she called Rabbi Bochner – to thank him. This is her remarkable story:

Bonei Olam reached out to its international branches, and got a quick response. The hormones she needed were available in Canada! The teen had the gland removed, and is getting highly-targeted hormone replacement therapy – because what’s an international, COVID-locked border when it comes to saving a world?

“I went through chemo and radiation – Gehinnom on this world. But one thing got me through it - the thought that I had a chance at a family. It was a remote chance. I was in my forties, and hadn’t found a shidduch even under the best of circumstances.

But it was a great comfort.”

Bonei Olam’s international scope means that it has the entire world’s fertility expertise at its fingertips. From Israel to Europe to the Americas, if there’s a treatment that can help a couple, we have the connections to make it happen.

“And then, wonder of wonders, although I was a cancer survivor in my mid-forties, and though everyone had said it would never happen, I got married. And now I had a baby!”

“It’s all because you cared. You cared enough to give me a chance, when no one else would! This is your child!”

When others said “it doesn’t pay,” Bonei Olam stepped up to the plate – and merited to be part of a miraculous salvation.

In Conference

I

t looks like the White House Situation Room. Ten great poskim sit around a large conference table; analyzing, debating, deliberating.

The atmosphere is charged; the discussion is heavy. The rabbonim are making halachic decisions that could impact a large number of couples.

There are lives – generations – in the balance.

Sometimes there are guests around the table – like a famous fertility specialist, who came from Japan to explain the intricacies surrounding an innovative new treatment. Other times, the conferences take place abroad, like gatherings in Eretz Yisroel that allow some of the greatest poskim of our time to participate.

Bonei Olam has earned the respect of the gedolim – and works closely with each couple’s rav before they approve any procedure. When a sheilah is particularly complex, Bonei Olam calls upon our generation’s greatest for guidance.

Perhaps that is why they are trusted everywhere by those who hope for doros yesharim mevorachim – generations of proud Torah Jews.

Tomorrow at Nine

W

hen a certain woman called Bonei Olam for assistance, the counselor assigned to her case recommended that she see a particular doctor. A short time later, the counselor reached out to the client, to follow up.

“I won’t be seeing the doctor you recommended,” she said, and mentioned the physician she’d chosen instead – a doctor with a poor success rate.

“Why would you go there?” the counselor asked.

“The doctor you recommended has a six-month wait,” the woman replied. “I’m desperate. I can’t wait that long.”

“Well, what if I get you an appointment?” the counselor asked – and with the client’s permission, contacted the doctor.

Her appointment? Nine a.m., the very next day.

Stuck A long time ago we got stuck in a land

Where things were so big, we could barely stand The grass was so tall, it covered our heads,

We feared being trampled by giant foot treads.

It started quite simply – we wanted a kid,

We tried this, we tried that, but whatever we did,

Didn’t help, though we wept great big oceans of tears, Marking the days and the weeks and the years

We were in a bad place, we were simply too small, To get through this challenge, it towered, so tall Each pebble a mountain, we trekked to the top,

Then found there’s no answer, it made our hearts drop.

And the currency used in this very strange land, Was humongous – it just didn’t fit in my hand,

The coins were so big, when we needed money, I’d break my back dragging it – it wasn’t funny.

Why, when the doc told me to pay up his bill, I felt I was pushing a rock up a hill,

The weight made me stagger, it made me see red, You see, I was in this well over my head.

But then, from the real world, we heard someone call, “Can we lift you up, so you don’t feel so small?

Give us your burdens, don’t spare any worry,

We’ll take over everything – doctors, care, money.”

From that very moment, we stood straight and tall, Bonei Olam took over, did not let us fall,

I tell you this story, ‘tween feedings and grins, Life is quite busy, with one year old twins!

LOL in Land Of Little If ever there’s reason To laugh – any season There’s one place you really must see, It’s called Land of Little, For people in middle Of growing – they are still quite wee.

They make up for size With the glint in their eyes, And the things that they do and they say, They live in great wonder, They question, they ponder, Cause trouble and messes, oy vey!

Crack eggs to make suns, Pick raisins from buns, And ask at least one thousand whys, Think up great excuses, Have hundreds of uses For glue, paint, mud, sand, fireflies.

They turn rooms to stages Make plays, quite outrageous, In costumes they make on their own They ask for pet rabbits, Pick up funny habits, And don Mommy’s sheitel, on loan.

If you are so blessed, To come, not as guest, But in Little Land actually dwell, You’ll chuckle, you’ll grin, Or jump out of your skin, Through it all, you will say, LOL. 79

Kesher: To Tie the Knot “Bonei Olam was our Shadchan”

When Chaim Goldstein was diagnosed with cancer, his mother felt like she’d been caught in a war zone. Frightful realities hit her like rocks. Chemo. CRASH. Radiation. CRASH. Surgery.

CRASH. Family. CRASH. Work. CRASH. But one word hit her like a bomb.

Shidduchim.

Chaim was a wonderful Chassidishe boy, and at nineteen, had already been ‘on the market’ for half a year. And now this. They had to focus on survival, of course. But through all the pain and disruption, she couldn’t put the fear out of her mind: How would they find Chaim a shidduch?

Enter Kesher Networks, Bonei Olam’s new shidduch initiative.

Kesher Networks maintains a massive online database of boys and girls with every type of medical condition, from serious to innocuous. The database includes users from every country on the globe, and opens users to shidduch possibilities they would never have known about otherwise. The process is complex.

“Shidduchim are very nuanced. There are so many factors at play! You can’t just take a boy with diabetes and a girl with diabetes, and presto, a shidduch.” Mrs. Kestenbaum, who worked with Bonei Olam to establish Kesher Networks, explains how it works.

waits for a shidduch, he or she could be missing out on crucial child-bearing years.

“If a girl with a condition, say, epilepsy, can’t find a shidduch until she’s thirty-eight, she’s losing precious time. Her chances at having a family are much lower than if she would get married in her twenties.” Kesher Networks opens the entire Jewish world to her and gives her a chance at finding a match – and starting a family – way sooner.

Kesher Networks is Bonei Olam’s second foray into the shidduch scene. The first was Ohel Sarala, which matches singles with waiting couples, bringing bracha to both. Ohel Sarala was founded at the behest of Harav Aron Leib Shteinman, zatzal, who said that two things give him no rest – the plight of singles and the plight of couples waiting for children. Kesher Networks brings the two causes together again.

The program is a boon to countless singles. But it’s much more than a high-tech solution to a problem. Kesher is a program with heart. Its biggest asset is the people behind it.

“This isn’t your typical database, where people can conduct their own searches,” Esther Rosenfeld of Kesher explains. “The site is manned by shadchanim. We review the data and speak to both parties.” That is a critical point, for two reasons.

Number one? Confidentiality. Kesher will “The website has filters. A user – a parent never release a user name until permission is or single – creates a profile, and can select granted – typically after phone conversations what he or she would find suitable.” A typBONEI OLAM that determine basic compatibility.

Kesher Networks is the Jewish community’s answer to the challenge of shidduchim for medically challenged singles. It assists people suffering from every possible ailment – from the most serious, like active cancer, to innocuous conditions like allergies. Confidentiality is guaranteed, so registrants have nothing to lose – and so much to gain! Shadchanim can access the shadchan portion of the site – but will not receive identifying information without the consent of the user and Kesher facilitator. To sign up, visit keshernetworks.org.
