Please read… I’m writing these words with tears in my eyes.
My little son, Dudi, only two years old, is fighting a severe illness—leukemia. We are doing everything in our power to save him, but we need your help.
There’s a series of surgeries that can save him, and the first surgery he needs is complex and very expensive. This is our chance to be a family… Otherwise, I can’t even bear to think about it.
Of course, we believe and hope. Each day is filled with worry, but also with hope that good people will stand by our side. Your donation is our lifeline—you can’t imagine how much it means, and I wish that you’ll never be in this place.

President Biden approved Ukraine's military to use U.S.-provided long-range missiles on targets inside Russian territory, the New York Times reported Sunday, citing unnamed U.S. officials.

In our previous pieces, we have delved into the profound and transformative power of Torah and mitzvot in our lives. They safeguard our health and foster our personal and spiritual growth, inspiring us to reach a higher spiritual plane.
Sustaining True Life
Rebbe Akiva saw Torah learning as not just critical but essential. In response to those who questioned his teaching Torah in violation of a Roman decree, Rebbe Akiva compared our need for Torah to a fish’s dependency on water (Berachot 61b). Torah is not just an enhancer of life but a condition for it. Though we can survive physically without Torah, our spiritual life hinges upon its sustenance.
Significantly, Rebbe Akiva compared our dependency on Torah learning to that of a fish, not a human, on water. Unlike humans, ...
Lebanese news website al-Modon revealed details on Saturday from the draft for a ceasefire deal between Israel and Lebanon.
The proposal includes a full Israeli withdrawal from the occupied areas, the deployment of 5,000 Lebanese troops in southern Lebanon, and granting exclusive military authority in the area to the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF).
The agreement also states that the LAF will be assisted in controlling the border crossings and preventing weapons smuggling.
The draft also includes the reactivation of UNIFIL and scans in the area by the LAF to ensure that there are no unauthorized arms in the south of the country.

Mohammed Afif, the Media Relations Officer for the Hezbollah terrorist organization, was eliminated today (Sunday), in an Israeli airstrike in Lebanon, Lebanese media and Reuters reported.
There has been no official announcement from Israel.
Last week, Afif told Hezbollah fighters that they are "perhaps determining the fate of the Middle East," the Tehran Times reported.
"The enemy is still unable to occupy a single Lebanese village, and the epic of the al-Khiam Fortress stands as a living testament to heroism," he claimed.
He also stated that "The Israeli claims about our depleted missile stock are mere fabrications; our missiles will surprise."

Rachel is 47 years old. She came into The Wellness Clinic for a consultation to consider working with us. She had become very concerned as her weight has been climbing by about 2 kilo per year for the last 5 years and in parallel, both her sugar and blood pressure had been creeping up. As someone who had never had health issues, this had Rachel worried. Her doctor was quite adamant that if she wasn’t able to control her risk factors through lifestyle changes including weight loss, he was going to have to start her on medications both for her high blood sugar and her high blood pressure and as a precaution, give her a statin drug against high cholesterol.
Racheli was clearly frustrated. “What am I doing wrong?” she asked. “I...
