Yosef Segal is a penniless orphan who has been fatherless since the age of 8. He acted with unbelievable mesiras nefesh on behalf of the klal when he tried to change a hideously biased law against frum people in Eretz Yisrael.
For many years the Israeli government gave social security for orphans – to Arabs until the age of 20, but to frum people only until the age of 18! Many askanim tried to fight this shocking bias – but to no avail. Yosef Segal, himself an impoverished orphan, decided to lobby the Knesset single handedly in an attempt to change this law. He wanted to help both his struggling mother and all frum almanos of Eretz Yisrael.
From the age of 17 until the age of 20, he went regularly to the Knesset, spoke to everyone possible…and finally succeeded. All the while, he remained a Ben Torah with shtark sheifos in learning. The new law is named for him – Chok Segal – giving frum children who have lost a parent, social security until the age of 20.
YOSEF SEGAL IS NOW GETTING MARRIED IN ONE WEEK! Both for his great mesirus nefesh on behalf of the klal, and simply because he is a poor orphan, he deserves the help of the klal in return. All of the almanos of Eretz Yisrael benefitted from a fund of millions of shekels thanks to his devotion. Let’s help him build his new life b’simcha and b’kvod.
