7 Children Miraculously Saved From Fire

As the sun rose last Thursday morning in Beit Shemesh, a dozen terrified families stood outside their building on Chazon Ish street, surrounded by emergency responders. Those who were suffering from shock, however, were the fortunate of the group. Men, women, and children were evacuated on stretchers to the Hadassah Ein Kerem hospital due to burns and smoke inhalation.

Just after 5am, a fire erupted in the home of the Yosef family. The blaze initially trapped the parents and 7 children inside of their home. Firefighters were miraculously able to save them after removing the bars of their window. The entire family was hospitalized. While most have been released, two of the Yosef children, ages 7 & 9, are still in the intensive care unit in serious condition.

Everything the family owned was destroyed.

The family was reportedly known within their community as exceptional baalei chesed. Parents Shalom and Yiscah were known to take in challenging children (whether challenged mentally, physically or otherwise) so as to give their parents a break. It has been speculated that one of the children they had taken in may have mistakenly started the fire.

“We truly cannot believe that this is happening,” says moving emergency fund text. “We are so grateful to be alive, but we are not out of this nightmare yet. Not until we have all of my babies home safe with me. And not until we have a home to live in.”

With most of the children now home from the hospital, and two being monitored on respirators, the Yosef family reportedly do not have clothing to wear, or the means with which to wash it. A fund has been opened in hopes of helping them to purchase basics such as toiletries, clothing, appliances, furniture, school supplies, shoes, and other essentials.

Before the tragic fire, the Yosef family were known to give a helping hand to those in need. Whether or not strangers will extend the same chesed to them remains to be seen.

The Kesher Retreat will be held on Parshas Vayeshev, from November 30th to December 1st. The program will feature top relationship and chinuch experts, including: Rabbi Yitz Greenfield, Rabbi Jonathan Rietti, Rabbi Effie Goldman, and other experts in the field of Marriage and Parenting. This Shabbos will take place in the beautiful Homewood Suites in Mahwah, NJ. The Hotel boasts luxurious suites which include a living/dining room, bedroom and kitchen.

The program is designed not to be a big crowded event, so space is very limited and suites are selling out.

Tehillim for Vaccine injured children

URGENT URGENT URGENT
Please stop and daven for us!!!!! We were born perfectly healthy and had clear injuries after we were religiously vaccinated. Don’t call our parent anti-vaxxers just because they don’t vaccinate us. They are really just ex-vaxxers who had to learn about vaccines the hard, painful way. Our parents spent countless days/months/years educating themselves, shedding many tears in order to make the decision to protect us from harm. You dont want your children getting vaccine injured c”v in order to believe us. You have no idea how hard it is to be ostracized just because our parents decided to protect us from more harm! Dont you think its just easier to listen to the drs and get fully vaccinated?!. We stand to gain nothing by not vaccinating, if anything its a lot harder dealing with all the hate.
If you just took a look at the adverse reactions in the vaccine insert, you would see a list of our injuries. We dont understand how when a baby has a stroke or seizure shortly after getting vaccinated, you could deny that its from the vaccine when its clearly written in the vaccine insert as a possible side effect! THEY wrote it, not us! Instead of hating us, please daven for us!
