It’s the seventh night of Chanukah. Revi’s husband and sons light the candles, and they all dance together, guitar playing in the background.
Little do they know this would be their last night as a family.
Forever.
The two long weeks to follow were waves of hopes and disappointments while Revi lay in a coma in Haddasa Hospital. However, all dreams were dashed as Revi returned her holy Neshama to her Creator on Shabbos.
How do we tell her 4 yesomim, the oldest all of 7, that Mommy is never coming back? Revi’s 8-month-old baby doesn’t stop crying, aware that his precious mother is missing from his life.
As Revi was the sole supporter of her family, ensuring that her husband could learn full-time. Michoel is now left with the daunting task of both raising his children and eventually IY”H marrying them off.
Please hear their cries and help out this widower and his four yesomim.
