We all know, the pain of losing a relative can be physically, emotionally and psychologically unbearable.

That’s exactly what happened to Esther W. from Jerusalem, who found herself left all alone, full of grief and loss over the fresh grave of her father.

Already as a young child, Esther suffered from tragedy. Being a child of divorced parents made her taste a bitter experience at a young age. As an only child to her parents, it created an additional challenge for her to cope with.

Living all those years with her father, by her mentally unstable grandparents, was not to her benefit at all.

Her father was the only person in the world that brought her happiness and joy. A few years ago, her father suddenly passed away at the young age of 45. Pained by the loss of her beloved father, leaving her all alone to cope with the tragedy, Esther was at the edge of despair.

Dear Readers, Esther wants to get married. She wants to move on in life. Esther wants to experience joy and happiness. But without basic necessities, and minimal funds, Esther can not move on.

With Chanukah approaching and with no parents to take care of her, let’s all step in to spark her future and illuminate this lonely candle, to fulfill her dreams of building a Bayis Ne’eman Beyisroel.

Please take an active role in this project and help spread the word by sharing Esther’s story with your friends and family.

With great appreciation,

Michoel Rottenberg, Lakewood
