Yisroel Gurion, a 31-year-old father of 3 young children who has entertained thousands of people as one of “The Twins From France,” is currently suffering from a serious mental illness that began several years ago.
His family is speaking out about the situation, stressing that his illness began out of the blue.
The broken system put him in prison instead of a hospital leaving him untreated, allowing his condition to deteriorate. He is now facing a potentially very heavy prison sentence.
This is a rare opportunity to take part in one of the purest forms of pidyon shvuyim available. In Bava Basra (8b) it says that captivity is worse than starvation and death. Please open your heart and your pocket and give whatever you can to help this man get out of captivity and into a facility where he can get the treatment that he so desperately needs.

the medical term is called schizophrenia which can be treated iyh! May hashem give you the strength to overcome this challenge and bring light back light into your life as much as your husband has made so many yidden happy and brought life into their lives. Amen! A message to the public: THIS is going on in our community on a DAILY BASIS! And people take this “normal” or taboo. Why are such situations considered normal and when people don’t agree to wear a mask or get vaccinated ONLY THEN do people scream?! Only when its affecting the body but… Read more »
Mania is often accompanied by psychosis, it’s not unusual. Please let his wife (who seems incredibly knowledgeable about this topic) speak for herself.
Often schizophrenia and bipolar depression can be similar in systems. It’s up to a physiatrist to diagnose and help his patient. Either way, both diagnoses need medication to help keep their chemical imbalance balanced.
If a family was given a diagnoses with a medication regiment that works, there is no need to contradict that doctor.
May Yisroel get the help he need to keep on being the great person he needs, and may this be the eye opener the community needs to reduce the mental health stigma!
He has brought such joy to all of us. May Hashem bless him with a refuah sheleima immediately. We need him.
We love you Yisroel
Sending so much love and strength.
Cannot even begin to imagine the pain you and your husband and children are going through. You are so brave and strong. May Hashem bring salvation to you, your husband and your beautiful children.
I too was diagnosed with bi polar when I was 16 and had two major manic episodes since then.
Sending much love to you.
Hope the necessary funds are raised so you can have your family back once again.
May Hashem REMOVE your husband’s matzsif IMMEDIATELY! & w/ the RIGHT REFUAH! (& do not think this is
an “isolated incident” in our community! MANY suffer w/ Mental Illness, & it is no more a person’s “choice”, than having a “physical” disease!) Please GIVE GENEROUSLY! There by the Grace of Hashem go we! (Or our loved ones chas v’chalila!) Our community needs to have TOLERANCE & RACHMUNIS! Ad Mosai! Moshiach NOW!😥
Will def daven for yisroel

Just by speaking publicly about a psychotic illness is doing good in this world. It happens in this community more than people think and we have to break the negative stigma. It’s an illness like any other and should be treated as such.
Thank you for bringing your story to the public. Thank you for allowing us to participate in his refuah. Wishing him complete refuah and yeshuah, and wishing you a wonderfully happy and healthy life together biz hundret un tzvantsig.
Moshiach Now!!
Just a suggestion, I understand Yisroel may he be well soon BH, is from our community but maybe this fund should also be advertised by the communities of monsey, Williamsburg etc.. where his performances were much loved and very much enjoyed. I have no doubt that they would give generously
Very difficult condition. Everyone, including COL, very brave for facing this honestly. Hopefully others will get past the ignorance and social stigma to reach out for help.
May Hashemi give you all koach and health and much happiness together!!!
Rochel we love u and care for u and your family! This is a very hard situation, iyh u will c a miracle and an amazing change for the good. Pls post with good news very soon. Wishing u much strength.
(Who are we to question what H’ does?but) That a person that made thousands of kids and people happy, its not with his kids and very important, with his wife to make them happy. ה’ , Where is the מידה כנגד מידה? ולא יחרץ כלב לשונו כתיב, וה’ אינו מקפח שכר כל בריה.. I will add on tzedaka on his merit right now (because im not on a position that i could really have a impact finantially (yet?) ) and say a tehillim כמנהגן הטוב של ישראל. May the family see the revealed good in all this story and immediately,… Read more »

Justice stinks!!!!!!! Unfortunately in the United States the government does not look at this mental illness I think it’s very sad & disgusting that the government is not looking at this mental illness. I remember Yisroel & his twin they are very Aidel guys. They bring so much joy to us when they did/or do their shows. Hashem why why why….. Just my feelings what & how the dirty government looks at. Shame Shame Shame on the U.S. Government & the supreme court. Hashem please please help…….my prayers are in so that Yisroel can get out of prison, & he… Read more »
As someone that struggles with Mental health issues I just donated and feel for this young lady (and family). she is so strong for speaking up and dealing with it.
so sad may he stay heathy
I think as a community we fail those who are struggling, we wait for things to get so far gone b4 helping. We can all be more kind and teach our kids to be kind as well!
Hashem should give you much strength to pull through this. My heart cries for you. It takes tremendous strength to come out and speak openly about this, though it is no different when someone is not well r”l with another physical illness. Mental illness IS a physical illness!!
May Hashem have רחמנות on klall Yisroel and end all this suffering with the coming of Moshiach Now,,!!!
I have been through something similar with a family member. May Hashem give you lots of strength and a Guelah Protis for Yisroel and your family!
We love you Rochel! You’re an incredibly strong and inspiring wife or mother, May HaShem bless you with so much strength and to have your husband healthy back at your side so quickly!!!

Action speaks the loudest. I am willing to give a donation to this person. That is the 1st step in my prayers for his refua shlaima that he will be able to get back to be med compliant and normalize his life.
Does anyone know his full name to daven for him?
Yisroel Shimon ben Adit Rochel
The public is asked to daven for Yisroel Shimon ben Adit Rochel
Is anyone able to verify this? There is no public arrest record for anyone with the last name Gurion nor is there such a person that can be found via inmate lookup for NYC or NYS.
That’s why
Israel Gourion
I don’t know you Rochel, But you are a BRAVE BRAVE woman. Hashem should bless you and your family with a complete Yeshua!
