He Gave All He Could. Now It’s Our Turn

He Gave All He Could. Now It's Our Turn.

Love saved Moishy once. Let's make it save him again.

Moishy is just nine months old. He was born healthy — a beautiful third child to committed, working parents.

But weeks later, all that changed.

His parents rushed him back to the hospital. Something was terribly wrong. Doctors found a rare, life-threatening condition, nearly impossible to diagnose in time. His health declined rapidly.

In a last-ditch effort of love, Moishy's father, Eli, donated part of his own liver to save his baby's life. 

It worked. But only for a while. 

Now, Moishy needs urgent heart surgery and innovative treatments. He's too small and weak for standard care. Only top specialists can help — but at a cost that's far beyond his family's means.

Eli is recovering from major surgery. And from his hospital bed, he begs:

"I gave my child my liver. I'd give him my heart if I could.

But now, I have nothing left to give… except this cry for help."

The family is doing everything they can — selling belongings, caring for two other young children, praying day and night. But the treatments that Moishy needs will cost $200,000, and they cannot get there by themselves.

A Personal Blessing from Rabbi Meir Sirota

Rosh Chodesh Sivan, 5785

"I implore you to help baby Moishy, son of Eli - a devoted Torah teacher who gave part of his own body to save his child.

Now Moishy's life is on the line, and he is in urgent need of treatment that the family cannot afford.

This is pikuach nefesh a life threatened.

The zchus of saving a life will surely bring bracha and protection to you and your family."

Did Jewish Media Create the Shidduch Crisis?

In this riveting episode, Rabbi Joey Haber sits down with Nachi Gordon for an unfiltered, thought-provoking conversation that tackles some of the most pressing—and often taboo—questions in the Jewish world today.

What does it really mean to live a Torah life in a world obsessed with status? How can we tell the difference between true mitzvah and materialism? Are we setting up our youth for failure by defining success through narrow expectations—like the 3-to-5-year Kollel rule?

From the Syrian and Ashkenazi community dynamics to financial pressures, lavish weddings, and the emotional toll of the shidduch process, Rabbi Haber addresses it all—with clarity, humility, and refreshing honesty.

This is more than a conversation—it’s a mirror for our values and a wake-up call for our assumptions.

Nesanel's Nusach - Chesky Schwartz, Yedidim | Dance Set

With gratitude to Hashem, I’m excited to share this second dance medley. This one brings together a mix of some of my favorite nigunim, the kind that build with momentum and carry a room. We kept the sound crisp and powerful, with Chesky Schwartz on the music and the Yedidim Choir bringing it all together. I’ve been waiting to put this one out — turn it up, share it around, and enjoy it like it’s meant to be.

LIVE: MOMENTS 6 - Tuesday June 10 2025 - 7PM ET

Baruch Levine, Joey Newcomb, Mordy Shapiro, Naftali Kempeh, Gad Elbaz

With classes for monthly, weekly, and daily engagement, the Torah Center is a place where one can start learning for the first time, grow to advanced levels, and eventually give back to the community as a teacher. We have programs for directed study, group classes, and structured programs for both men and ladies. The Torah Center has been pivotal in the wide reach of Torah learning in the Syrian Community, and in the world at large.

Shaare Zion Torah Center is the pioneer of the world phenomenon, Habruta Night, where outreach is made to friends, family and acquaintances who are not currently learning Torah. One night a week, the study hall is full of new and soon to become familiar faces and the sounds of hundreds of voices refamiliarizing themselves with Torah study.

LIVE: Temimahthon 2025 - Within These Walls

Within these walls, generations of talmidim have taken their first steps in Torah, in middos, in life.

For decades, the building at 555 Ocean Parkway has stood as a beacon of chinuch excellence—its modest exterior concealing the powerful impact happening inside each day. From the hum of early morning learning to the deep discussions in our high school classrooms, the walls of Yeshiva Torah Temimah reverberate with a timeless mission: to educate, inspire, and uplift.

Today, that mission continues stronger than ever. With a flourishing preschool, a growing elementary division, and an incoming high school class that reflects our community’s confidence, Torah Temimah remains an anchor of chinuch in Brooklyn.

But excellence comes at a cost. Our annual campaign helps close the gap between tuition and the true cost of delivering the rich, well-rounded education our talmidim receive every day. With your support, we can continue building futures—within these walls.

World's Largest Aron Kodesh of Gold & Silver

Arutz7 - The construction of the world's largest Holy Ark (Aron Kodesh) has been completed at the Yeshivat Ateret Shlomo campus in Rishon LeZion. This monumental project, entirely handcrafted, stands as an unprecedented achievement in Jewish sacred art.

Key Features of the Ark:

Dimensions: The ark spans an area of 120 square meters, measuring 20 meters in length and 6.5 meters in height.

Materials: Crafted from over two tons of pure silver, with gold-plated sections adorned in 24-karat gold.

Inner Sanctuary: At its center lies a meticulously constructed chamber for storing Torah scrolls, created by leading artisans from Udaipur, India.

Parochet (Curtain): The entrance to the inner sanctuary is embellished with a purple curtain woven with gold threads and embedded with precious stones, crafted over several months by top artists from Kashmir, India.

Mezuzah: The ark features the world's smallest mezuzah, measuring 2.7 by 2.7 centimeters, a finely crafted piece of art.

Copper Fence: Surrounding the ark is a cast copper fence weighing four tons, produced in a specialized foundry in Stuttgart, Germany.

The construction spanned three and a half years, involving 350 artists from 12 countries across three continents. The components were transported via complex sea and air routes, overcoming logistical challenges, including threats from the Houthis and wartime conditions, to reach the yeshiva campus.

The project was fully funded by a Jewish-American philanthropist, a follower of the Bobov Hasidic dynasty, dedicated in memory of his revered teacher, Rabbi Shlomo Halberstam of Bobov, of blessed memory.

Life-saving Treatment for Riki

Is there a pain greater than the pain of watching your little daughter bravely fighting for her life, but losing despite all efforts?

There is!

Knowing that if only they had the means, they could fly her to a children's hospital in the USA, where ground-breaking treatments are available and could cure Riki.

But they do not have the funds.

Imagine this young family: mom and dad, hardworking and loving parents to Riki and Moishi, just celebrating the birth of baby Moti. Their world collapsing one cruel day when they discover to their horror that Riki, a happy, sweet tempered and creative seven-year-old, has Leukemia.

They spend days in the hospital, then weeks. Leaving all behind and focusing on supporting their little girl, seeking treatment and hoping for good news. But weeks turn to months, and Riki is only getting worse. Moishi and baby Motti miss them terribly, their jobs are gone, their strength is weakening, and Riki is bravely trying to fight but she knows that her chances are slim.

Then they hear of a possible cure, far away in the USA. With rekindled hope they contact the hospital and find that Riki is a perfect candidate for this treatment. They want to celebrate, to start planning a complicated voyage and stay, but the sums needed are way beyond their waning budget. Can you imagine the agony?

Little Riki is praying for a miracle


With her childish optimism she knows that her devoted parents will find a way.

The way is us

Together, we can be that miracle!

We can give Riki and her parents the most precious gift of all: a cure, a life.
