Can You Afford Another Child?

This week’s Living Torah program from JEM features a powerful Sicha on the subject of planning for a family.

While the recording of this Farbrengen has been available to the public before, the video of this special Sicha was long thought to be missing. Several weeks ago, researchers at JEM managed to track down footage from this Farbrengen which was found among a box of other VHS films.

Getting straight to work, the JEM team has restored the footage, and after translating and subtitling the Sicha in record time, it was made public on this week’s Living Torah.

Special thanks to the Bongart family of Crown Heights and the entire JEM team for making this precious video available for the first time.

Excerpt from Living Torah Disc 180, Program 717

Judaism teaches us that each and every child born is a cherished blessing for its parents and the Jewish people as a whole. But where can parents gain the confidence to take on the financial burden of raising a large family? The real answer is that your success was never in your hands anyway.
