We don’t understand why G-d makes certain things happen the way they do.
My husband Yudi has accomplished so much good in the world these past couple of weeks- more than many of us can accomplish in a lifetime! He has so many merits that he would just need a fraction of them to merit not just a full recovery, but a MIRACULOUS speedy recovery- one that leaves everyone stunned. But yet, Yudi is still not awake.
I don’t know what else Hashem wants right now.
Yudi hasn’t been getting worse thank G-d, but the doctors would like to see more improvements. He will receive a new trial drug tomorrow which will hopefully help reduce inflammation. Please pray that this drug will be successful and that it will be the final push Yudi needs for his lungs to clear up, his body to heal, and for him to make a full and complete recovery!
This day has been very hard not only because of what’s happening with Yudi, but also because we lost a very special friend today, Raizel Zucker obm. Raizel and I have known each other for over 13 years, and she was always so positive and completely grounded in her faith in G-d, no matter what was thrown at her. I cry for her. I cry for her husband. I cry for her 8 beautiful children. I just keep crying. I am utterly heartbroken.
I feel confused, angry and even resentful, but I will continue trusting G-d. I truly believe that G-d has a greater plan and that one day we will understand why everything was meant to happen and how there is a purpose to all this. But until the good is revealed to us, it’s ok to cry and feel confused, angry and even resentful.
G-d, the suffering and pain is enough. You are continuously creating the world every single second. What our reality is at this moment, this second, doesn’t have to be our reality in the next second. Please show us all your wonders and send us open and revealed miracles NOW!

One day after Lag b’Omer, Raizel Zucker OBM, a beloved wife and mother of 8, returned her soul to her Maker. A beautiful family shattered. 8 children suddenly orphaned. A husband suddenly alone.
Eight children need you. Eight children who lost their loving mother need your support to help them live and perpetuate their mother’s legacy.
A venerable board of businessmen and activists have set up the Zucker Family Fund, to help purchase the Zucker’s a home, pay for food, clothing, education, necessities, and get Berel back on his feet.
Please go to https://www.charidy.com/zucker/COLlive and give with an open heart in memory of Raizel, whose heart was always open for others. There is nothing she would want more, than to know that her family is taken care of. You can help.
May Yudi indeed have a miraculous speedy recovery!!
Your dear friends from way back in Morristown.

You impacted my life in a very strong way, and I’m sure you would be surprised to know that everything you do is so full of grace and with such generosity that you don’t even realize the kindness you extend others. I’ve been davening for your husband this whole time. May he be completely healed.
We don’t underhand Hashem ways, but our reaction to it is what we can control. Your response during this challenging time has been inspiring. Taking the opportunity to make the world better, brighter, kinder place. Your kindness and thoughtfulness, even during this time, is something I can personally attest to.
Praying for Yudi everyday.
