Mrs. Sara Dukes posted the following on social media:
Last night I shared a personal experience about when I went scuba diving with Yudi and how I learned that I was still safe underwater even if my goggles were filled with water and I wouldn’t be able to see. I compared it to me feeling deep underwater, unable to “see” and understand what’s going on and why all this is happening, but that “I’m OK” and I just have to continue breathing slow, deep breaths.
Well, I feel like the waters just got deeper and darker.
Yudi had another stroke last night.
THANK G-D the doctor said he is now following commands so it doesn’t seem to have been a large one, but there are additional big concerns from the team, and Yudi will be having more tests and imaging done this morning to have more of an idea of what’s going on. Please pray that EVERYTHING completely resolves itself!!!
This is another bump. It may be a massive one, but it’s just a bump. We will help Yudi go right over it just like he has done with the other ones. Onwards and upwards!
When I am feeling more fragile and weak, I get strength from your comments. It hurts me that I am unable to reply to them at this time, but I want you to know how much they do for me. We are all strengthening each other. We are all in this together and keep each other strong and positive. We are united as one and are here for each other and for Yudi. Our prayers and positive thoughts are extremely powerful, and together as one we make the most powerful force and we will be bringing Yudi home!
Anything can happen at any moment and all of this should be resolved in seconds!
For those who TRULY believe that Yudi will be coming home, please comment below. Your trust in G-d reinforces mine. We have been and will continue to keep Chaim Schneur Zalman Yehuda ben Hinda Yocheved safe and protected until he has completely recovered, may it happen NOW!
AUDIO: Yudi Dukes records a message on Erev Shabbos

Beautiful to hear him speak erev Shabbos
From the JNET family to your worldwide chassidim family. We all stand together to support you. Today I wanted to share with you that a year ago I decided for my birthday to start learning more and signed up to JNET. I went to the ohel to ask for a bracha from the Rebbe. As soon as I walked out of the ohel I had a message from JNET they found me a chevrusa. I was paired up with Chanie, she and I have been learning on a weekly basis for the past year. Just this past week, Chanie suggested… Read more »

We do not know each other but I want to tell you how much I’m thinking of you! I was speaking to an old Alum who must’ve graduated around eight years ago. Unfortunately he intermarried but decided to recently come back in touch with us. He was so proud to tell me that he still learning with his partner on Jnet! I was so delighted to hear that! I don’t even remember setting him up that many years ago! He loves learning the Hayom Yom and other things. It’s his only tangible connection to his Yiddishkeit! Refuah Shelaima to your… Read more »
Refuah shelaima!!!
We keep praying! H’ will do more miracles like he did until now
Chaim Shneor zalman yehuda ben Hinda Yocheved wil return back home to his family bepoel mamesh
We are just waking up and I have read all the comments. Sara, I will repeat what so many have said. You are an inspiration!! Hashem should give you and your children the Ko’ach especially when Yudi is ready to come home IY”H. I don’t know you but like hundreds (or thousands) I daven every day to the Aibishter thatChaim Shneur Zalman Yehuda ben Hinda Yocheved will have a complete recovery.
I will bezH dedicate my next womens’shiur to Yudis recovery. Yeshuas Hashem kheref ayin!
Bsd
I will do something in honor of Yudi.
Oh no , I wish him a full Refuach Shalama. May Hashem grant that he will be able to return home soon, fully recovered.
Iy”H you and your wonderful children will have Yudi home again soon. We are davening for you all.
We just learned our class on the telephone in the merit of Yudi having a complete and speedy recovery now!
Yudi should have an immediate refuah shleimah so he can continue doing his Holy shlichus. May Hashem remove any impediments to his shlichus, and may he go mchoyil el choyil bgashmius ubruchnius, btov hanireh vhanigleh!
We are all davening for you so stay strong and with hashems help you will pull through!!!!!!!!!!
May hashem give you loads of strength !!
He brings Torah to the people. In fact, my 3-month study with Rabbi Raicheck is now in YEAR 6! May he fully recover and then go from strength to strength. As we prayed last Shabbos, BE STRONG, BE STRONG AND LET US BE STRONG!
Holding on to positive thoughts for Yudi to be fully recovered so soon BEZH. I don’t know you personally but from the first time I heard that Yudi was sick I had a strong feeling that this special father and husband will get through this and recover fully. Our next mitzva we will bn do in his merit.
As someone else said above, I look forward to the seudas hodaah! What a day that will be!
The docs are going to gain knowledge from this latest event to get your husband to a higher, better place in his recovery. I feel it; I know it! This latest bump will be remembered as a yeridah for the sake of a HUGE aliyah!
Meanwhile, my tehillim continue for Chaim Shneur Zalman Yehudah ben Hinda Yocheved, for his refuah sheleimah!
I am praying for Yudi every day.
I was motivated to come to the Jnet dinner Every year
iin CH (more than an hour’s drive) by the beautiful smiling
sholom aleichem that Yudi would give me.
Yudi iyH will get well soon and greet everyone
and MOSHIACH with his wonderful smile.
Your strength is inspiring. Yudi should have a refuah sheleima and very quickly!!
I don’t even know how Yudi got to know me, but every time he sees me, he gives me his trademark warm smile and greets me by name. הוי מקדים בשלום כל אדם I am confident I will see him soon again, hopefully I’ll be quick enough to greet him first for a change.
Such strength in the face of challenges is awesome.
Refua Shleima Yudi!
In the “zchus” of his involvement in getting people to learn Torah over the phone with other people who were eager to learn Torah because they never had a Yeshivah education for whatever reasons and YUdi was always getting peole from ANASH to have a Chavrusa over the telephone and learn with them and that’s how he was Mekarev many Yidn. Hashem yirachem olov and send him the REFUAH SHLEIMA TEIKEF UMIYA, NOW!!
We daven often for Yudi in California
His innumerable merits will SURELY stand him in good stead and help him merit a COMPLETE and TOTAL recovery IYH
When I was going through a serious medical concern,
A friend told me “The Rebbe does not remain a baal choiv” (in debt)
Yudi has done so much good and is the shliach that arranges for so many people to learn Torah which is probably the Rebbe’s highest point of Mivtzoyim.
May we witness revealed good immediately! GD should send him home ASAP.
Sara, I continue to say Tehillim daily for Yudi. Thanks for keeping us all informed. He is an incredible person, as you must also be. May HaShem give Yudi a complete and lasting refuah. Know that thousands are davening for his recovery and also davening for you. Stay strong!
Reus Chaya Hersh
My family and I just went through 11 weeks of our father being in the hospital for Covid, and we were told at some point that “they don’t see him surviving, and would not resuscitate if his organs would fail (what they were expecting). Those were truly dark times, and we know its the bitachon and tefilos that brought hashems miracles. BH HE HAS NOW BEEN HOME FOR SOME 5-6 WEEKS AND COMPLETELY PROVED THE DOCS WRONG!!!! YUDI TOO WILL BE HOME SO SOON, AND BEFORE YOU KNOW IT, YOU WON’T EVEN REMEMBER HOW DARK YOU FEEL RIGHT NOW. Looking… Read more »
with complete faith that he will come home safe and healthy
Yudi – Chaim Shneur Zalmam Yehudah ben Hinda Yocheved will be healed and restored to complete health and strength! Long life, may more good healthy happy years with his wife and children dancing with complete health to greet moshioach now!
Btov hanireh vhaniglah!
Yesterday I wrote a letter to the Rebbe for Adam etz Chaim ben Devorah who is in ICU. The Rebbe instructions were to say kapitel 20 every evening and to repeat the verse “Hashem will answer you”… .
The Rebbe also said he will daven and that “surely we know that Hashem runs every persons life in a good way. We need to have trust, and if we believe that Hashem is our shepherd then we will not lack. ”
This is a summary and the Rebbe gives blessings for good health.
Yudi, May you have a rapid and full recovery.
Lawrence Biel
