On Monday night, our community showed up in a powerful way. Now, there is one final action that can make all the difference. If you haven’t entered the raffle, this is your last chance. Every ticket directly funds fertility treatments, medical procedures, and vital emotional support for couples who cannot do this alone. 

This isn’t just a raffle entry. It’s a chance for someone else to finally hear “YES.” A chance to turn waiting into possibility. Raffle drawing will take place this Motzei Shabbos, so now’s the time! 

Monday’s 5th Annual Women’s Show Up event for Bonei Olam Chabad showed what happens when a community stands together with heart and purpose. We extend our heartfelt thanks to our MC, Aidy Bendet, whose warmth, sensitivity, and steady presence guided the evening with grace and heart, holding space for every story shared. 

We were deeply moved by the words of Rabbi Bochner, who reminded us that behind every child is a journey of tefillah, resilience, and unwavering faith. His message grounded the evening in what Bonei Olam truly represents: belief in possibility, even when the road feels impossibly long.

The sand art presentation by Naomi Zeivald, brought all the way from Israel, visually told the story of Bonei Olam’s mission in a breathtaking way. From longing, to struggle, to hope, to miracle.

The spoken word performance by Chanchy Tenenbaum gave voice to the silent pain so many couples carry, and to the courage it takes to keep hoping. It captured raw emotions so often carried quietly, leaving not a dry eye in the room.

And then there was the Bonei Olam Chabad documentary on saying Yes. For ten years, Mendy and Adelle Bryski waited and prayed for their baby. They heard “no” more times than they could count. Until Bonei Olam said something different: 

Yes. It’s possible. We will not give up. Because of support like yours, they are now holding the child they once only dreamed of. This is what your presence does. This is what your generosity makes possible. This is what a simple raffle ticket makes possible.

Let’s keep showing up. 

With gratitude and hope, Bonei Olam Chabad
