please open it up oh yeah
welcome everyone to let's get real with
coach minafin tonight is a special
edition
tuesday night usually with sunday night
and for those who are with us we've done
many many programs
and our mission is to open up
certain topics that many times people
don't have where to turn to
and we all know that when something
lingers
in our mind it lives in our own mind
it can be sometimes very painful not to
know where to go what to do
and tonight's topic especially is
is a pretty sensitive topic and it's a
very sensitive topic
for those who haven't gone through the
struggle don't
really understand and it's it's it's
hard to understand what they go through
but
when those people struggle with this the
questions that they have
not knowing where to turn is it a
question
should they talk they shouldn't to who
they should talk to what they should do
is it a problem
maybe not and all of those things going
on in their mind
can become a real problem and that was
until bueno ellen came along
but not only is it a place
that we you can call them and ask them
your questions whatever it
is and get the support but they really
hold your hand
for those who need it from the beginning
and through the whole process and it's
it's hard to imagine same way we can't
imagine
people will go through these things
the same way in you know when the when
they see the light at the end of the
tunnel
when there's hashem the simha
is english shire and and it goes it goes
together a deep deep in the journey as
dark
as it is when you're going through and
then when you
finally finally come through another
side
amidst hashem and you're able to see
some light
that light is the joy is is is mama
english
or something that those who didn't go
through can't imagine
and um tonight we will hear stories
we'll hear from ravi bachner
and from other stories so we can grasp a
little bit of what's going on and for
those who have your questions tonight
we have this here for to be with us
tonight so we can ask your questions
whatever it is and for those who need it
and for all of us
that's all of us on our journey whatever
it is the ups and downs
the dark places that hashem should give
kayev to be able to go through
and to do what we need to do with the
help of others
so again tonight we're going to discuss
infertility and all those issues
everything around it we've got a
tremendous amount of questions from all
over the board
from many different angles memencan
worked very hard to put together the
questions in some type of order
i'm a chem if we we're going to try to
cover at least the the main questions
and this time we'll try to take a few
live questions
um i'm going to read it back in this bio
and then rub it back for the floor is
yours
the founded bonnet with his wife in
1999. it started out as a small fund to
help couples in need of financial
assistance for fertility
fertility treatments and since turned
into an enterprise with 27 chapters
around the world
funding hundreds of treatments and
medicine each year with diagnostic labs
in the forefront of genetic and
fertility advancements with private
fertile clinics and more
rabbi bachmann is a visionary and
day-to-day director of binolum
and responsible for the birth of close
to ten thousand babies born to date
buena island's yearly budget is over
fourteen million dollars
of which robbie bachmann does not accept
a penny for his work
it's a bix close to having him on
tonight thank you rebecca for making
yourself available to the audience
especially during the busy time as bueno
island launches its annual campaign of
the year
have a bachmann floor is yours
good evening it's a very proud moment i
have to say to connect
to claude israel and i would like to
start
with abraham and abraham response
hashem shall help us all we should
always be
to hear from each other only give us all
health children healthy children
from our children our children should go
on hashem's way
we should be able to marry them off and
have naka's
generations and generations to come this
is
abraham which is basically covers the
entire jewish life
and our purpose for being in this world
and
the purpose for being hait tonight's
get-together i guess is people have
questions to ask
i will try to answer all of them as the
best as i can
you need a special shattered ishmaeli
for that too
however i do want people to understand
that under every question that is asked
there are many answers can't always
answer
all the answers for every question we
are going to try the best as we can
i do welcome after this program anybody
who has any more questions or wants to
comment please
feel free to email and i will try to
respond
as best as i can to each and every one
everyone's comment every person's
thought is very very important to me
because this is how binodum was built
with the heart
and the thoughts of claudius i am ready
to take my first question
okay so i have tons of questions let's
first start with a video if that's okay
we're going to share a video
and then we'll take a poll and then
we'll do questions okay
carry a bachelor yes yes let's start
with the poll first okay everybody let's
let's ask this two question paul
launcher just to get from the feeling
from the oil first question we're asking
everybody it's anonymous
everybody here tonight how common how
common is infertility in our communities
what's your guess zero to five percent
of couples
six to fifteen percent of couples or
sixty percent sixteen percent or greater
how common
is infertility in our communities the
second question i have
is what do you think is the hardest
challenge for couples going through
an infertility issue do you think it's
the hardest issue
in your opinion would be finances a b
emotional support
c just basic knowledge doctors
treatments what to do
or number four living in a community
with children and not having a child of
your own
so please answer those two questions
i'll give you five seconds and then
i'll show you the results if you wanna
just respond to them in your version and
then we'll go to the video and then
we'll really we have about the questions
here
we'll try to cover okay
they can't see the answer yet so give
one second
[Music]
four percent of people here think that
zero to five percent of couples have
infertility issues in our communities 38
of people think it's six percent to 15
58 think it's 16 percent or greater
rabbi and you're
20 plus years of experience what's
what's what's the average
well first of all is it depends how
people grade what the word infertility
means
to somebody a minor issue might be
infertility there's some people who are
more knowledgeable in the field it takes
a lot more than that to be case
infertility the united states government
has a statistic
which is quite close to statistics to
the state of israel too
between one in six or one and seven
couples
will struggle somewhat in their
fertility life with issues pertaining to
infertility
it doesn't mean that many of them are
major issues
some of them are issues which we can't
even address even if we want to
it's a widespread but the government
rates this
one in six in israel they rate it one in
seven
robert second question what do you think
is the hardest challenge for couples
with your fertility issue 13 people
think it's finances
70 percent feel it's emotional support
only 9
fields basic knowledge of doctors and
treatments and a whopping 60
feel it's living in a community with
children and not having a child of your
own
so i will add another option to answer
this question is
all of the above i don't want to get
that because that would be the option
no because it's so true it depends you
have to understand everybody takes a
challenge different
than the other person some people will
take certain things much easier than
other people
and some people take it much harder
the truth is is really all of the above
but there is one thing which i
feel throughout my entire experience
which i think is above all
is fear f-e-a-r fear
we are afraid if we're going to be
successful if we're ever going to have a
child
or children if a couple when they start
this journey
can somehow get some kind of insurance
we are going to have them yet
children healthy children 90 of the load
goes away because we will have musician
there is light at under the tunnel for
sure
it's just a matter how fast we're going
to get there and how hard it's going to
get there
fear is probably the strongest of all
the feelings
now fear does include in itself
financial issues
it includes itself the the pain of this
of the treatment and how i'm
going to be able to take it whatever
comes along with it
from my experience from my own
experience and from the experience we're
not dealing with
thousands of people for so many years i
think it's fear which is the
biggest the biggest challenge when a cop
begins the journey of infertility
treatment
okay scrambler let's start with a little
video about robert bachmann's uh usual
day
how he starts his day or about the right
you wake up usually afternoon or
something like that right
we'll start with that and then uh coach
monash we'll start with some questions
we have a lot let's go
so what is the question
[Music]
4 30 4 45 am the phone starts ringing
for the calls coming in from that's the
swirl i'm coming in from europe that's
when i have a chance to sit in my
kitchen
take the phones and learn
[Music]
we go to daven very early because we
never know what the day
brings us
typical day we'll start off sitting in
the office in the morning taking phone
calls from patients
after that it's usually phone calls to
doctors and centers because
blood work has come back results have
come and we have to deal with the
doctors in the first part of the day
[Music]
late afternoon this is when the couples
come home from work it's again couple
times
medicine time which can last seven eight
o'clock at night
night's supposed to finish by 9 30 10
o'clock at night but
never finish it before 1am
[Music]
many times i can get a call 3 o'clock am
tomorrow i'm getting results
i can't sleep explain to me the worst
case scenario
and how good i can go the night is gone
the night is over but she actually can't
sleep
when the struggle became very hard if i
used to make deals within a bunch then i
used to walk home we used to talk to
muslim
when i got married i thought i'm gonna
have a whole bunch of children you don't
want to give me a bunch give me one
give me one only one and i remember for
that one child
i cried so much one only one
you know and that also did not happen
you know you feel like you reject it
as much as we believe in hashem and we
are meaning
being human you're still angry
every time i walked into this show i
used to talk to myself schleimer
control yourself control yourself
you're sure you have to doubt them try
not to get hurt but you're going to hear
what you're going to see
and people walk away from people that
are in pain not because they're bad
they don't know how to react they don't
want to hurt you
that was even more painful
bless them after 120 years emotions are
going to ask you know shalom you run
through such a heart i'm not having
children
at least or you're there for other
people they shouldn't they shouldn't
feel your pain
i just can't understand in 2019 2020
there's still people struggling and if
it's only because of money
how can we allow them
[Music]
i'm not complaining because was very
good to this mitzvah i can't say we
put together for this cause over 120
million dollars in the last 20 years
and we have changed a lot of things in
labs we really have done something for
clouds and forever ever to go on
but still not everybody yet is helped
and
everyone that's not there is painful
[Music]
wow okay so
i think before before we get the
questions that we got if rabbi bachmann
if you can tell us a little bit
from how how this whole organization
bernoullm started if you can share with
the islamic whistle
from the organization
well there actually there were many
components that actually brought
to the beginning of this organization
but i'm going to refer to one
because of i don't want to have
i don't waste a lot of time on that on
my personal story it's more detached
but i want people to be able to ask
questions
so it all began in my opinion we were
together once a group of people for
treatment
and my next door neighbor which was
another couple
and we were out of the country and it
was a friday morning
when our neighbor the couple came back
and they approached my wife because
i i guess i was that time dominating i
wasn't back yet
and they asked my wife that they need
another twenty five hundred dollars they
ran out of money and they do have to
change
their medication so they have to buy an
entire cashier of medication it's very
expensive
fertility medication hormones is
probably one of the most expensive
medicine we can buy today
so my wife says i lost my husband when i
came home
my wife put the question to me and i was
searching for an answer to be quite
honest so then my wife tells me listen
[Music]
we don't need it now for the moment they
need it now for the moment
if they're not going to have they're
definitely going to lose their chance
maybe you won't need it
maybe you would but for the moment now
they need it and we don't need it so we
decided to give them the money
and the end was they came home with
twins
unfortunately we came home empty-handed
but when we heard the good news for them
that there is positive news i remember
my wife telling me
looked what 2500 made
it made it different in a person's life
people's lives
we knew then they were carrying twins
we're part in this for 2500 hours
i was very happy and i was very proud so
that's when my wife started pushing the
point more and more
we should really open up something and
help people pay for treatment
people never were able to afford
fertility treatment it was always
very expensive i'm talking when you go
to top-notch places not much labs
and top-notch doctors they're very
expensive always was
it will always be and it's a pity to see
people struggling to have a child
children when only actually money is the
barrier between them
so this is when my wife came up with the
idea she wants to open up an
organization
i was not sold on it that quickly to be
quite honest
little did i know what my future is
going to hold but my wife spent
months convincing me until that year
it was airbn kipper i was going to
with my kitten with my mother and she
blocked me the door
and she says you're not going to shoe
until you don't promise me that you're
going to join me with my neighbor
it was a very emotional moment it's
heavy and kipper
and we have we had at that time major
issues to discuss with the brain and
should
we were going through a very very hard
time
i had no choice i said yes nazim kipper
after the fast i asked my wife so what's
my job
my job is my wife explained to me
there's no money in the bank
so the next sunday morning was the first
time ever in my life that i approached a
person for money
i can't begin to tell you how the earth
burned under my feet
what in the world am i doing i pinched
myself are you normal
are you normal do you have no children
you go around asking people for money
but hashem has his ways this person gave
me the first
five thousand dollars i couldn't believe
it when the mayor wrote out the check
he says wow this is really what hashem
wants
the rest is history we raised for this
cause
it's probably close to 160 million
dollars there are branches
all over the world and when we say we're
going to be celebrating
almost 10 000 children these are 10 000
children that we paid for
there are other 10 or 15 000 children
that did not need my money
they only needed my guidance my
connections
getting them better deals in hospitals
and centers
there's an empire out there from
children that were born from this hazard
this is one of the components that
brought brainerd into this world
let's get into some questions the way
that came in somebody sent a question
from a woman i've been married now for
three years without children
my husband keeps on telling me to relax
we'll take it easy
take some time we can't afford to even
start thinking about this stuff
can you advise me first of all how to
deal with my husband a
and b what's the first steps for couples
who are not pregnant after three four
years
so first of all there's a question
age it's very different when we're
talking about a 22-3 year old woman are
we talking about women that's
30 plus or 35 plus a huge difference
but let's say we're talking about a
young woman three four years
is a long time it doesn't mean
it means something serious what i do in
this case is
i send them both for blood work now from
blood work
you can get more or less a feeling are
we dealing with a major issue
or it's an issue which is
i would say sometimes a non-issue in the
end but it's something which we can deal
with with time
but if we do get some signals in the
blood work that we're dealing with
something major then we do
recommend treatment asap because
age plays a major role
in the biological clock now i know there
are a lot of women out there especially
singles
they push off freezing preservation
because
no i have time i'm still young my mother
had children in this age my grandmother
this is so not true in this day and age
it's a very
very different world today every year
makes a difference
i'm not going to tell you about 22 23 is
as major as 30 to 31 or 35 to 36
however i do believe in doing
non-invasive blood
tests blood work and from there we
should judge
where we proceed how should she deal
with her husband the husband doesn't
want to deal with it right now
well i as far as i know wives have a
very good way how they get their
husbands to do whatever they think they
should be doing
look what my wife made me do
[Laughter]
okay this is a follow-up question a few
people are texting right now it's a
general question is there any age limit
women in the late 30s or early 40s were
still still be able to have children and
would they be able to get assistance
via bueno idol i'm sorry i missed the
beginning of the question
is there any age limit can women in
their late 30s
or even early forties get a city anyone
no there is no age limit as long as a
woman
can produce a follicle we get a doctor a
decent doctor they give the okay to move
on
we will be there for them okay
thank you for that somebody who gives
money to bernie is asking a general
question
i always give money to the islam i
support them i said i think it's a
tremendous thing that you're doing for
clay israel
but i'm just curious can people in these
situations just get the proper medical
insurance that covers
most of these treatments now the answer
is
technically there's really no insurance
however
however there's a law passed in new
jersey if you are an employee of a
company of over 50 employees
you are eligible for insurance but most
of my patients do not work in companies
from over 50 employees
and in the office i think over 100
employees in new york
not every center has to take insurance
even if you have the insurance
so throughout the united states i think
there are three or four more states that
have mandatory insurance
most do not have but i want to add a
point which is very important
some of the real top-notch centers
do not take insurance at all regardless
what you have
you might have out of policy
rewards network whether you can get back
money
it depends on insurance company but by
far and large
i would say 97 98 of
patients that come to us do not have any
insurance coverage at all
we have a question from someone asking
about their neighbors
he's saying he's not his neighbor
doesn't have kids for 10 years
he's not trying to minimize the pain but
doesn't it just make sense just to adapt
at this point instead of being so out of
it depressed and borrowing hundreds of
thousands of dollars
absolutely not adoption
is not an exchange for having your own
child
adoption unfortunately has
a long history of being very complicated
children when they grow up being adopted
many of them
are going through a very very hard time
i'm not saying this should not
this is not an option to be exercised at
all
but to consider adoption
over struggling for your own biological
child
that's not an option at all
okay right now somebody just texted just
curious what age would you recommend the
single girl
should start freezing your eggs i'm
sorry i didn't hear the question
which age well
honestly my opinion would be in the late
20s
does not mean if they didn't do in the
late 20s they shouldn't do it
up to any age you could because we have
seen women be met sleeve
but by foreign large i do encourage them
to do it as early as
as young as possible they don't have to
use them shema helps they do a shidduch
and they try naturally and many of them
do have children they don't have to go
back to it
but we have seen unfortunately many
women in the early 30s
are not producing the way we would like
them to see at that age
this is a very powerful question so
let's just take a breath before we ask
the question
we've been trying for many many years
all over the world
all different types of ivf treatments
the doctor came in the last time after
our last failed treatment and he
basically said to us
it's not going to happen we're never
going to have children of our own
as a premier is there a time just to
give up and stop this unbearable thing
absolutely not i you're asking me
we call this a very blind question i
don't know the story
i don't know who the doctor was we
always should
look for somebody else another opinion i
want to quote you something from the
alta bell
he once said a person came into him
crying he says
my i'm ill and my doctor told me that he
has exhausted every option
of trying to heal me what am i going to
do so the bells that have told them
maybe he has exhausted all these options
doesn't mean that somebody else does not
have any options
now again this is a very general
question it's a very general answer
but by far and large i can tell you that
in my experience
from all these years we have had people
that were told by many times by the
even by good doctors ain't gonna happen
it did happen so always
we should go and try to look for another
opinion
we do a lot of that work for people
consultation when they bring us all the
paperwork and we
review it for them and many times we
came up with ideas
that was never tried on that before and
they were let's leave
never give up because there's no reason
to give up
okay let's go to the next question over
here so many over here
i live in a beautiful development with a
lot of from neighbors as you can imagine
everyone has children and families some
even have as much as 15
siblings 15 children shabbos afternoon
in the summer
looks like a camp my closest friend and
neighbor
is 32 and has been married for many
years without children
the issue is it's so hard to talk with
her most of the woman's conversation is
about our kids
i'm not sure how to make her feel
comfortable almost every conversation is
painful for her
please advise the way to be a true
friend so a person's asking for their
neighbor who doesn't have kids for many
many years
and every time they're together the
conversation is always about children
and
that she sees that's how from that
person
i'm so glad you asked this question
because this question has been asked
thousands of times and it's a very
important question
and i will say again no answer fits for
all
however i do want
that people that have hashem a family of
children should understand
that people that are struggling with
fertility are no different than them
we are all our people i had no children
unfortunately
and i did not like but my friends stayed
away from me
i lost all my friends when i went
somehow people found out it was
struggling with children i was going for
treatments
i got back some of my friends maybe 22
or 23 years later after they finally
decide
oh i'm not having any more children so
we can bring him back
into the loop this is so wrong and
maybe so crude too if
a couple has no children lives in a
neighborhood where there are a lot of
children
they should be brought into every
discussion
make them feel good yes we have to use
common sense
when this person is amongst us we should
try to avoid
issues which directly talk about our
children but there is so many other
things to talk about
and make this person part of the
conversation the worst thing you can do
to a couple struggling fertility to lock
them out
this adds so much pain and so much
unnecessary suffering for them why
why am i different you know many times i
used to go to weddings
i used to walk into a hall thousands of
people were there
and i felt all alone haki feel alone i
used to told myself
you're here amongst all the people why
you feel so alone
but feelings are true i felt i'm alone
why am i alone because i didn't feel
anybody related to me everybody knew
this man has no children
and so and so why am i being treated
differently
this was one of my major struggles i
worked very hard on myself
i overcame and i tried to counsel
couples today
that they should live their own lives
and not worry how people
relate to them but for the people around
this couple
yes you might have to add another few
seconds of thought how are you going to
deal
when this person is amongst us but it's
a mitzvah
to get these people involved
call them to somehow it's their option
if they want to come or not
don't make them feel much worse than
they are feeling now because
ah these people also understand that we
don't belong here
this is unnecessary hurt and unnecessary
suffering
yes a little more common sense how we're
gonna
deal when we are all together but we
should be
all together no reason no reason why
they cannot be part of
everything in our lives would you count
would you counsel couples to
open up to put the pink elephant on the
table to tell
tell their neighbors you know i would
love to be part of it
no absolutely not this is not a
discussion that
people struggle with fertility enjoy
nobody wants their privacy invaded no
however if somebody has tachlas
could really do something not just to
enter around and talk around with other
people's issues
just to try to pry this is how sometimes
these people feel are they only they
probably know what's going on but us
no tactless maybe this person needs
somebody to talk to the rabbi to the
masjid to the
heart yes do something
constructive and maybe they're
struggling financially too
there's so many things that we can do
which is really tackles helping your
neighbor and your friend if you really
care
just to pry and get involved in their
personal life is an
absolute no-no
somebody just texts me a question i want
to address it quickly
what should a parent's role be in a
children's life especially when they
don't talk or share
they leave the parents in the dark while
they see the child
is struggling with that issue so this
question
actually needs an answer which is going
to go back many years it really depends
the relationship from parents to the
children i have many cases where the
parents are involved literally on a
daily basis
which i think is too much too there are
parents which
when they find out that their child has
some infertility they get lost
they're not here they can't face it they
can't deal with this issue
that's also wrong there's always a happy
medium there's nothing wrong
when mommy invites the couple to their
house
with no other siblings around and
there's nothing wrong with mommy sits on
the couch after lexen
and talks to her heart to heart i don't
want to get involved
i don't want to get close to your issues
private you your husband but i want you
to know shay fella i'm your mother
i'm hurting i want to help is there
anything in the world
that i can do to make this journey for
you easier
now the parents also have to be sure
that if they're going to be
answered that they need help
they should be able to give it if
they're not going to be able to comply
whatever they offer
rather than not offer but there is a way
there's a common sense
where there's always a middleweight
there's always a highway that
how we can talk to the children one
thing i will tell you something
children that struggle in fertility are
yearning
they're yearning for the love from the
parents
understanding from the appearance
everybody has a different ingredient to
it
not not every family is alike however
to get lost and disappear from the
screen is extremely painful
get involved on a daily basis ask
questions when you're not getting the
answers
have cycle walk away but always to try
in a small way
i want to get i want to help you is
there anything i can do for you and
don't push it too far when you see
there's no response coming
this is really what the couple wants to
hear they want to feel
that they have a rock behind them
there's somebody there for them
okay rebecca i'm going to give you a
little break brought on
danielle fleischer over here he wants to
share her story with the oil
daniel if you could be kind enough i
know this is probably uh
interesting place but uh you know this
some thousands of people that are
watching this and they're going to watch
who knows how long
you cheer for people that are going
through this your story and give the
physic
the floor is yours well first of all
thank you for having me and
rabbi bachner always a pleasure to see
you to speak with you
um where to start with our story
i can say that you know unlike many
other
couples who sometimes it takes a few
years
to realize that maybe there's an issue
they should go see someone
my wife and i found out pretty early on
um we were married only a couple of
months and she had
a different medical issue nothing major
and while she was being checked up that
happened to be that the doctor
saw something and told us you know
you're going to have a hard time having
children
and you might want to see someone about
it
we went to see a doctor and
you know he tried to help us out a bit
we didn't know
who to look for what to look for which
centers was good which ones were not
we went to see a doctor that a relative
recommended for us
um it was not successful and
we didn't know where to go next we did
not have a great experience at the
doctor so we knew we didn't want to
continue there
i called up my rashishiva at the time
just
you know to get a boost to get some
physique from him and
told him the whole situation told him
what was going on
i i still remember it clearly like it
was yesterday he was quiet for a few
seconds and he said danielle
stay by your phone i'm gonna call you
back in a few minutes
okay he hung up the phone i'm waiting
and a few minutes later he called me
back
and he said here's the phone number this
is the phone number for rabbi
bachner
he heads an organization called boniolum
and give him a call he's going to help
you out
so azerbaijan mentioned before making
that initial phone call is
not easy you know you always want to
give to tadaka's you don't want to be
the one who has to be the recipient or
the beneficiary of itseduca
but you know it took a couple minutes
for me just to get my nerve up and
i called him he right away was able to
put me at ease and he helped us out he
sent us told us which doctor to do what
you know tests run
and that really started our journey in
earnest was you know when we really
really got into it
it was not easy even from then on we
went to a couple doctors had some tests
they found that we had a
variety of different things that was
affecting us
and we went for
test procedure iuis
i don't even know how many we did and
nothing seemed to work
at one point we said okay it's time to
switch to ivf the doctor didn't think
that it was even necessary at first for
us to do ivf he thought iui would be
fine
we switched to ivf and
our first one was a complete disaster
because we didn't even have a single egg
that fertilized
in our first ivf cycle so my wife went
through all the drugs the hormones
everything
with nothing you know we had zero to
show for it
our second round was a little bit better
but again
was unsuccessful before our third cycle
we
did some additional testing so they can
see what was going on
um we did our third ivf cycle
and i could still remember one of the
office staff
there my wife was you know sort of
friendly with her and i remember she
called us up with the results
screaming to tell us that it was
successful that my wife
was pregnant
you know just try to give over what the
excitement is to get something like that
it's it's impossible
you know if you're there you you to see
it to experiences to try to give it over
now
all these years later i i can't so
we you know we thought great we're done
right
we got past the hard part she's pregnant
she's actually pregnant with twins
so we're going back to the appointments
the follow-ups everything seems to be
going great
and on our the last day sorry i have to
back up a bit
but at the time i was trying to go with
my wife to all the appointments
and i was taking off time from work and
they didn't have the options now where
you can work from home it really wasn't
available back then
and i was missing time at work and then
my boss called me into his office one
day to tell me i'm sorry you're missing
too much time if you miss any more extra
time
we might have to fire you so at that
point my wife had to start
finding you know rides to get to her
appointments and i was not even able to
be with her which was very difficult
one day it was supposed to be our you
know graduation day from the fertility
specialist
i told my boss well in advance that i
was like saving my last day
to go with her because i wanted to be
there for it
and we went into the appointment
and we the doctor you know i remember
seeing the doctor's face with the
ultrasound machine and he was looking
and
i just saw in his face something seemed
wrong
and we found out that you know my wife
had miscarried
the pregnancy and i'm sorry even now a
few years later i'm starting to tear up
from the snap
i was crushed i i didn't know what
to do i couldn't function i don't even
remember exactly i know i drove my wife
home
i had to go into the office because i
didn't have the full day off
and i remember driving into the office
and having to pull over on the way there
because i just i couldn't think straight
and i just didn't like feel like i could
drive
it was you know i could say probably one
of the worst days that i ever had in my
life when you think you're
like just you know flying so high and
you just come crashing down
at that point they ran some more tests
to try to figure out why she had
miscarried and at that point the doctor
told us
i don't think this is going to work and
you should probably look into adoption
again you know within a couple days
after that first one
another crushing day a horrible thing to
hear for us
and i called up rabbi bachmann i was
crying hysterically i called upon
bachma and i told him what the doctor
said and rabbi bachner said
what do you mean he's a doctor
hashem told him doesn't give the doctors
permission to tell you that you're not
going to get better hashem gives the
doctors permission to heal so we're
going to send you to another doctor
this is what they said the issue is
there's a doctor in new york who you
know they
might have a way to treat that and he
sent us to another doctor
we went to that doctor he checked out my
wife and he said yeah there's a
procedure maybe we can do but i think
before we do that we might want to try
one ivf cycle because
i'm not sure that it really would be
such an issue but
you know i really think that we should
do one ivf
and if it doesn't work then we can talk
about the procedure it has a very low
success rate if it goes wrong
then you're really going to ruin any
chance you have really of ever carrying
your own child to term
but let's try that one ivf it might be
your last shot
so we went in you know drove into the
city all the times had the appointments
and what can i say
you know it was the one that worked
so you know my wife got pregnant with
twins
and again you know now i realized it
wasn't necessarily
the hard part that we got over the
hardest part
you know there was still a long road to
go rabbi bachner also set us up with
the best specialist for high-risk
pregnancies
in the area um who we went to
um he still to this day will tell us
that my wife's case was the most
difficult case he ever encountered in
his entire career
uh we heard he has a picture of our
twins front and center on his desk
and you know our hashem you know we made
it
our kids were born slightly premature
they were born
at um 32 weeks about 30
between 32 and 33 weeks i guess one of
the perks of ivf is you know exactly how
far along you are
um and you know
they stayed in the nicu for a little bit
and they came home
our hashem they're healthy you know i
told them in advance when you first
called me about this that i wouldn't be
able to bring my kids out because
they're in camp for the summer
so you know they can't be here with us
tonight you know i want to share
share the picture of your kids with
everybody and um thank you so much for
being vulnerable and
being you know telling everybody a story
it means a tremendous amount
this is a picture of danielle's twin boy
and girl
if everybody could see it two beautiful
children
i'm actually going to even share i want
to share the bar mitzvah picture because
i think it's such a nice picture if we
could share that one also
sure the bar mitzvah was just a few
weeks ago it's actually
um my my children's birthday is the 14th
of tamos so really you know less than
less than a month ago as the bar mitzvah
wow
and neil thank you so much guys back
there we have so much more ground to
cover you ready
ready okay i want to ask about secondary
infertility
i had three kids the first seven the
first seven years of our marriage we
took a large break but now we're trying
for a few years and going nowhere
i have two questions for you does it
make sense to reach out to bueno island
for help
we feel guilty with hashem we have a
family but there's so many people who
don't even have any children that's a
and b how common is secondary
infertility
okay the first question first now
a person should always reach out to ben
island
whether it's going to be financial help
or is going to be somebody that can
guide you get you into a good doctor
you review your blood work and your
your entire file get you better prices
and send us
we have done this always and we will
always do this right now
actually for many many years until last
year
we were basically only able to finance
primary
now primary i would like people to
understand
i'm not talking about the primary couple
are so many things that binding spends
millions of dollars which is related to
primary people
the primary couples for instance we have
a huge program
that cost us a year millions of dollars
genetics
now we're just going to focus on that
alone all the resources we have
we have to put in place that a person
should at least first have
one child many other services are
involved
but all this is spent at least to give
everybody that comes to us a chance to
have
first child last year when we had the
charity which was just a year ago
we reached a goal of 5 million dollars
and i
got onto the mic and i pleaded with
claudia
if you give me another million dollars i
will open up a secondary program
waiting for this second child the theme
of that
event was not to be alone the children
are alone
single children are alone so my heart
ached for them i wanted to do something
for them so we raised another million
dollars
and i actually the last 12 months we
were
sponsoring in part people struggling to
have their second child
when a couple is up to the third and
fourth child it doesn't fall to that
category but we can be an
immense source of help for them we do
get excellent prices at centers which
the couple themselves will never get
we do review their files which i
stressed it a few times
tonight because i find this sometimes to
be the key
that they should be now the second
question
is it off how often is secondary it's
not it really depends
what the cause for the primary was many
times more than many times
after having their first child a lot of
issues get settled
and they don't have to struggle again
become secondary patients
however if the issue in the first place
was something which is
i would call it a built-in problem yes
they might have to struggle
but let me add a point when you do a
treatment
in a good center and you are with sleek
even though to walk away only one baby
but we are
able to harvest and freeze
embryos it doesn't mean that you have to
go through this entire process all over
again
it's like 25 of the work to have another
child
and way cheaper so a secondary
can have an entire family after being a
primary
without doing any treatments too
okay let me ask let me ask the next
question a very interesting question i
have a bosnia
it's a little bit off topic but i i want
to ask it anyway is that okay
sure okay
i'm a fundraiser for a large voices and
sometimes i just feel like giving up
people ignore you and make you feel bad
and the expenses on demands keep on
growing out of control my question to
you is
how do you do this incredible moist
your budget is in the millions upon
millions i'm sure the pressure from the
needy people is unbearable
just need physic for myself and
extremely important
needed as well just somebody who's you
know this is what you do
talk about that so first of all to that
ask and i will tell them
welcome aboard this happens all the time
it happens every hour in the day
the key to success is how much you
yourself
believe in the mitzvah that you're doing
if you believe that this is a mission
that hashem set you on
then you should be able to handle all
these
all these hardships for myself
i never wanted to do binaural it's not
my brainstorm
and i don't like what i'm doing to be
honest with you this is not me this is
not my character
but i got to realize and with the
hezekiah
israel but this is what hashem wants for
me once i started believing
that i am shalif
from israel as many hot chips were
thrown my way and they're not easy
sometimes i go to sleep at night so
frustrated
i can't even explain it but i do know
the underlying
feeling is who am i doing this for i'm
doing this for the bunch then i'm doing
this for cloud israel
tomorrow morning will be a better
morning and tomorrow will be a better
day
when you go with that feeling knowing
that you're feeling
that you're fulfilling a mission in life
don't people work very hard for pranossa
don't they have setbacks of business but
they could
but they continue why would they
continue
very simple because they have to they
have to bring bread to the table for
their for their families
if you believe in your mission the way
you believe that you must bring pronouns
to the house
you'll be able to overcome these
hardships too
here's a question from a single boy i'm
a single booker who's rather shadow to
an amazing girl and really want to get
engaged
my family did research and seems like
there are two siblings
that having infertility issues and my
family is concerned
can you give me some ideas on how to
deal with the situation
well when it comes to a shidduch
there's nothing wrong that the person
who is involved in
should ask questions it's his life or
her life
it's that person who they're going to
set up life together and have a family
together questions should be asked
but just because two siblings don't have
any children don't mean
that this person we're talking about has
issues too it could be from the other
side of the marriage
it could be a husband it could be your
wife there's so many options that can be
that really doesn't pertain anything to
this person
yes it's prudent and it's wise to do
some homework
there's nothing wrong to ask the shotgun
this bothers me can i have an
answer for it most people will come
forth with an answer
i just actually tonight there was a
at some place
in new york which i was involved
there was a boy spoken for a girl which
there are two siblings actually exactly
the story that you said that have a
certain issue
now that issue i feel might be genetic
but we couldn't place anything
we couldn't find a gene responsible for
it
and after consulting one doctor
another doctor we came to the conclusion
that we can move on
but we had all the information that we
needed nothing wrong to ask
always ask but it doesn't mean that
there is a problem with the spirit
but this person actually that was
speaking
this is coming from a couple that's
starting with the whole treatment my
wife and i are starting to
starting to get checked out after a few
years of marriage with our children i'm
asking a very broad question
what is the course range for simple
solutions to more complex
since i plan to ask our parents for
financial help i have to know what to
ask them that's a
and b okay
i'm muted by mistake we muted him so
just i'll mute him whatever's there in
the room
exactly yeah just want me to thank you
i'll read the question again my wife and
i are starting to go
going to get checked and after two years
of marriage we have you know we have no
children just asking a very broad
question what's the cost range for
simpler solutions
to more complex since i'm planning to
ask my parents for financial help
also is it okay to ask bueno oil to pay
if i technically could borrow or get the
money from family
okay again first question first
before they do anything there's really
nothing what to worry about
we have to wait for the results for the
first test to come back
and i always encourage people that there
are
the most the majority of people do not
have major issues so we don't have to be
scared
we don't have to be afraid we don't have
to in the beginning worry what's going
to be in the end
and there is no set plan nobody knows
what's going to be in the end
we are eating we believe in hashem we
have a munda we have to do our tablets
and move on
no there's no nobody knows what's going
to be in the future
however majority of people don't have
any major issues
so before they do any testing this is
not even a place to start worrying about
it
after the results come back hopefully
the majority
will not have to ask this question
anymore because there won't be a major
issue
if there is an issue involved if your
question was
should they ask their parents for help
absolutely yes
parents come first and if they feel
comfortable asking their parents for
sure
going to your second question which
actually for a second i forgot what was
the second question
they can get the money they can borrow
it yes okay a very important a very
important point
which i feel i'm happy you asked this
question
because this this this point has to be
brought out to the public
once and for all people have a feeling
that bueno islam is the atm machine
why not take from the program why not
people have to understand we get no
funding from no government
and from no major foundations every
dollar that we give out
is coming from people from eden some of
them are poor people
they will scrimp and save and give money
for binary them
if somebody has the way it means to get
his
treatments financed in his own is not
fair to come and ask from bernadette i
might know the difference
i might help you because whatever
whatever documentation you bring me i
will
follow those and if it says that you're
not earning money i will have to give
you money
and i'm happy to do it but if the person
knows by himself
that he can really manage on his own
you're literally taking away from
somebody else
it's not that i always have enough money
it's only a matter who gets
it most of the time i never have enough
there's always more people
in need that when i have
the public has to realize that this is
money from the copa this is the money
from saduka
this has to be taken very seriously if
you do not need the money
don't take this money and that's how
hashem will help you that you won't need
help from anybody else
but if you do need it please do not
hesitate
to come and ask we live in a small out
of town community and we don't have any
resources
and volunteers as a community
we want to be helpful for someone who
needs that physical advice what can
the community do to give these people
what they need
so a community if they're serious about
it
we can help them we can train them but
we can set them up
we have today many communities
throughout the united states
literally almost in every state where
there are eden living whether it's
cleveland chicago texas california
in new jersey whichever one there are is
denver colorado
we set up many of these groups in all
these places
and the hashem a lot of them will do
this on their own if there is a will
we will definitely show them the way how
to do it and it is the right way to do
it
because people the community do have a
feeling they care more for people in
their own community
yes i encourage that very strongly and
we
are here ready to help that rebecca
wasn't there a story when the community
that
uh they put together a story once a long
time ago i remember hearing it
about a community that all got together
you came there the
country and then they see you you had to
ask you a private question for help
remember that story the whole community
set up that event for them yes this is
this is this is a major story that's
happening actually overseas
this is i'm sorry the story
yes so this story actually was one of
the stories that
still today gives me a boost in my arms
what
it does for claudius and mainly how we
have to trust hashem
so this story happened there was a
community it's not in the united states
of america not important to mention
where the country is
so they set up a new chapter of bun
island they made their first dinner
and they asked me to come down to speak
and
the entire town came the entire town
meant approximately 350 people small
town
we all came it was such a warm dinner it
was such a warm
showing it was such a warm involvement i
i really was taken aback i felt so good
and so
it was really beautiful after the dinner
was over
and i was waiting for my car actually to
take me home and i see in the corner of
the ballroom there's a man still
standing there looking on his phone
there's nobody in the hole they have
packed up the table at this
i'm just waiting for my ride so i was
hoping to myself what is this person
here for
so by doing this and getting involved
with people for so many years
i developed a certain sense i can censor
people that need
people in need or a person i need far
away from me
and i have a feeling this man is looking
for me this comes along actually
when you get involved with people you
get sensitive to feelings of people
so i walked over to him and i gave him
shimalakum did you attend tonight at
dinner
i wish i was gonna say yes and i was
going to answer veldi
thank you tap him pound him on his
shoulder
and he says no i did not attend this
dinner
so what do you do now it's one o'clock
in the morning i came to talk to you
okay here i am so i knew my intuition
was right
so he says this is my story
this man has gone through literally
literally i get him in this world
and he mentioned to me all the sentences
where he tried to be treated
and he was not that slave so i asked him
how can i be of help it says i want you
to sponsor me
a treatment in the united states the
united states of america today
is most probably the best infertility
treatment
we do things in other countries are far
far behind
i would like you to spend some new
treatment now this treatment for this
person to bring well the united states
we're talking was probably in the range
of
40 to 50 grand it says yes
i will discuss it with uh the group of
people from this
from this town and we'll see all i can
do for you but i won't let you down
give me a hug and he left i turn around
and i see my other guys which actually
put all didn't again they're ready for
me to come home
and they come over to me and they ask me
so what
what did this person want from you he
says what he wanted to me he wanted i
should sponsor a treatment in america
i do not know this is all planned
how smart i am sometimes i'm quite silly
i don't pick up on these things
and they tell me epsilon
this entire dinner was put together for
this man for this couple
we all came out to support him so this
whole dinner getting together 350 people
flying down giving up almost a half a
week was for
one couple i came back to the united
states
i got in touch with the doctor and it
wasn't easy to get this person in
the doctor didn't give us a lot of hope
he was quite
hesitant to try because he
he looked the papers he said look
everything was done everything was
trying they all failed what makes you
think i'm going to be successful
i told the doctor we have to try the
best we can
does he have a decent amount a decent
chance
of being successful i remember the words
it says i wouldn't say
decent but there is a chance so i told
the doctor do you know
i'm just coming back from a dinner this
this town where this man lives
the entire community came out to support
this couple
they want him to have a chance for you
you take him out
he says yes person came in
but not going into a lot of details
the procedure was done and we failed
when i got the call from the doctor i
literally broke volunteers
because i knew what this man has gone
through until he reached this point
i know how hard i went and i knew what a
disappointment this is going to be
for the people back back where he came
from
i literally cried i felt so bad to him
because this was the end
he reached the end of the road this is
one of the incidents when a person knows
there's no more hope it's closure it's
closed
i went to sleep at a very heavy heart
this man was notified
he took it quite calm quite good but
it's always it's the calm before the
storm
the next 24 hours people are still numb
that's when after the reality starts
setting in that's when the real pain
begins
listen what happened in the morning
early morning
the doctor came in now in these areas
even if you fail
there's another part which is called
pathology the doctor might have given up
whatever he has done
but pathology will still do searching in
the lab for the next
six eight ten hours after came in the
morning
early morning five thirty he goes and
goes over to his desk he has all the
reports from the night before and
this couple's file came up and there's a
little red x in the corner which means
we failed
i know the story in detail because he
himself repeated it to me
says i went into the i went into the lab
put on a white coat
i haven't worked in a lab he says in 30
years i'm a surgeon i don't do lab work
anymore
i took out the slides and i started
working myself
on the microscope but i'll go with the
details because it was in public
but i couldn't believe my own eyes that
i was successful
to identify some cells that we needed
he calls up this couple and they were
sleeping
[Music]
not too far away from the hospital
because after anesthesia they don't let
you travel home
he calls up this young man even picks up
the phone his little groggy
and he says young man can i see you in
an hour in my office
and this man says for what
he just told me last night that it's
over
it's not a phone conversation be here 6
30.
then he got out of bed he had no clue
he came he sat down the doctor looks in
the eyes and says
you are one lucky man
the rest is history he had a beautiful
baby
i asked the doctor that morning he
called me up
actually i called him to congratulate
him and he says what happened
he just spoke to me last night now
listen to the words
what this doctor said when i came in the
morning and i saw that we failed even
pathology too
i told myself how can i do this to an
entire community of 350 people
how can i disappoint an entire community
rabbi
told me this man is being supported by
his entire town
can't do that so i did my best i haven't
i haven't looked through a microscope in
the lab what was how many years
but i had to do my best till the end
and we had such a beautiful beautiful
ending
i remember when i spoke to the doctor
where i was sitting at my
desk i really buried my head in my hands
and i started to cry
i said this burnished you're far greater
than i ever thought
and this should be a lesson for
everybody struggling not only
infertility
everything in life i'm a man that's gone
through so many challenges in life
but i do know hashem is there there's a
plan
and hashem will never never never let me
down
wow that was a powerful story okay the
the last i mean i have a lot more
questions but the next section of
questions are the very hard questions
can we can we go there can we go there
sure here we go
we are a couple now in our 60s and never
had children
just like you can you please give us
advice on how to accept and deal with
this whole situation
in our hearts and how to possibly even
make something positive
out of this reality life situation
currently
so this is a very tough question the
problem is i don't have enough time to
explain this
but i will try to pick the best route
actually i'll pick my own round i'm very
experienced
how i deal with my own feelings i became
a therapist on myself
i've gone through all this pain and all
these
hard feelings but i try to help couples
with
i'm able to help them because i tried
to explain to them what i did for myself
and most of the times it worked
so this is what i share with people
first of all first of all
when a person is in the 60s and he feels
he has no children
what he should really do with the rest
of his life is to do
something positive the worst is to end
up your life
and go into your grave with empty hands
if hashem did not give you children
it's not because he's bad this is a hajj
this is something which is doesn't have
to be
known to us we trust hashem don't we so
this is not something that
to be angry about but instead of sitting
and thinking
and while in your own pain do something
positive
if you're good in helping ishida
in his learning great
can you help a struggling couple in your
vicinity whether it's with panisa or get
him a job
or speak to some people to get him a
decent job he should have
do something positive for the super one
does not
even no one can imagine what's hard and
how happy in china
hashem is when somebody shares with
somebody else
and helps them just because you have the
children doesn't mean
that you're not a productive
person member from claudia so you are
just think positive and you'll find many
ways how to fulfill your life
and you're going to be actually very
happy with your accomplishments
this is a interesting question as you
were so personally involved with so many
families
and i would assume a father of around 10
000 kids
do people reach out to you for other
favors
besides infertility absolutely
absolutely
and i've learned also this in my life
you don't have to be a professional only
in one area
when you have a heart and you feel
another eats pain
may it be whatever it is if you want to
help hashem is going to give you the
wisdom
how to deal with them how to help them
and will put the right words in your
mouth
just don't shy away somebody knocks it
off for help for whatever it is
i have done many am i far from it
but the mitzvah came to me and we know
nobody knocks on anybody's door for help
if he wasn't sent there
nothing happens on its own if my
comes to my door and needs help and
anything that means somebody something
and that is the rebellion why shy away
try your best
you'll be you'll see you're going to be
successful it's all and how much you
want to share
with another person how much you want to
really feel in his feelings his pain
and you're going to see you're going to
be very very successful
there's a story with the with the kids
in the school you want to share that
story
i think it's very apropos for that
question i'm really afraid to share that
story because i don't want to be bombed
with with requests because just because
i was successful once
i was going to call you after the show
to help me for that also but
i'm sorry i was going to ask you to help
me with that also
okay but this was a very unique story so
the story is that i helped the couple
they actually came from its role very
nice couple
no money self understood they were
trying to make a life for themselves the
united states
very crucial people very nice people
help them have them help them with the
first child
and i remember that one time she called
me
she says i'm sitting in in my back porch
and i'm seeing the kohavim
and hashem promised that we're going to
have children like the stars
i ask you please for another child i
would like to have a second child
and all of a sudden i hear a baby crying
so i asked someone why is your baby
crying if the baby's crying
tend first to the baby call me back she
says no my baby's crying because i have
no milk in the fridge to give my child
i said what do we have no milk
so i said i'm hanging up we'll talk in a
half an hour
i arranged in 15-20 minutes a car pulls
up
actually filled up the entire fridge a
child
these days not having milk
after that hashem she didn't need major
help for me she had a second child she
booked
a beautiful family and successful
actually today
when the mitzvah came around she asked
me to come for the mitzvah i don't
really go because i don't have the time
and i don't want to make people feel
uncomfortable
what am i doing here what shy has do i
have so i tried to refrain from going
but she made me so i came i hugged and
kissed
but mitsuba beautiful boy took a picture
and i said good night and i left
a year later she was on the phone and
she asked
i need to i have to push my envelope a
little bit further
that's now my son graduated and they're
not accepting him in the issue
i want to mix up so so
actually what does that have to do with
me
maybe you could try maybe he can call
the principal maybe you can call the
denial maybe he could
so as to why he's not being accepted so
what i understood was
that i guess he doesn't meet the
curriculum he doesn't
maybe that ishiba is only for very
special very bizion or whatever and he
doesn't fit that no
anyway i i called i got hold of the
principal
and he asked who's in charge of the
school so he gave me a name of a person
that name ring rang rang a belt to me
and then i
and myself hey i once did this person a
favor
i'm going to call them i call them
nobody responded
once or twice so i call back this mother
and tell her i'm not being successful
so the mother tells me so you know what
that means
that means you know you're the father of
this child if not you this child
wouldn't be here
how are you going to feel when you know
that your child is wrong in the streets
it's your child somehow
she pushed the right button and i
started thinking
she's right i worked so hard to finance
that this child should be born
how am i going to feel that this boy is
roaming the streets
i called up again i finally got hold of
him
you have to listen to me it's either you
fulfill my request
or i'm going to have to push other bots
this child
is going to be accepted in your yeshiva
so we made a deal
he has to pass a certain test we got a
private
tutor we put in a lot of work for two
and a half and three weeks
and ibrahim was accepted
not too long ago the mother called me
again
boy was i shivering maybe she needs help
with another child she don't
know she called me that was so nice of
her and
my son was finishing his first year in
that yeshiva
he passed everything with flying colors
this was such a beautiful and happy
ending but what do you learn from this
never should a person say i can't do
this i can't do that
we always have to try our best you'd be
surprised
if you really mean it if you don't set
yourself limits
i can only do this and i can only do
that no i can do everything
you'll see how much you're going to be
not sleep
okay next question is a tough question
are there sometimes in particular cases
that both of them can know
for example i have a cousin who their
marriage is on the rocks but they're
clearly not mentally stable
how does one of them deal with such type
of situations i
i didn't understand your question i'm
sorry there's certain types of let's say
people
there's certain types of situations that
boiling can help or don't help
let's say they know there's certain
issues i don't hear the question
can you please just repeat it one more
time
sometimes
are there sometimes infertility cases
that buena island
can't help or don't want out
yes yes there are
unfortunately we can see sometimes from
the first blood work
that we're really not going to be even
given a chance
yes unfortunately
let's go to the next question i'm going
to leave that one alone
the question i was also asking is more
if you see there's like issues in the
marriage or you see those mental issues
that's one of them like shy away from
that or i'm just curious
this is a very delicate question and i
don't think i can really give a full
answer
on a public forum but what we do
is actually many hospitals do it on
their own when a doctor
senses that there is an issue like that
by a couple
they will have to pass as
an analysis in the hospital if they are
able to
become parents usually i embark
or refrained or i don't even get a
chance to get involved at that point
because doctors usually do this on their
own they are responsible for that
issue okay i'm going to ask you the next
question is a very uh powerful question
and i'm asking you from the field before
i asked the question is that okay
you're asking before you ask the
question she asked me to after you asked
the question not before
i know you're not going to be happy so
i'm going to ask you
so i sent in a question i find that
there's a lot of special people out
there
that never
and so many others who never had
children what do you think there's some
type of correlation with that
sorry honestly i don't know
do i know the facebook instrument i
honestly do not know
and i don't want to even try to think of
an answer because i honestly do not know
hashem is not made for us always to
to know and i knew a lot of people that
were not the hazards i also did not have
any children
i don't think there's any correlation
every person that has his
challenges i don't think it's made the
comment on it because
it's silly we don't know the answer
bottom line
here's an interesting question i have a
beautiful family
and a very blessed i have a family
members
friends and so many people who bully
islam who helped from the beginning to
the end
the story i've heard of is the amount of
money are almost unimaginable i want to
be
part of this amazing mitzvah i do not
have any extra money
and i am part of zucchini is there
anything i can do
to make a difference
well if it really touches your heart
that much
if you don't have money on your own you
can
ask other people to donate what do you
think i do all day
all day i'm asking people for help
if i can't do this on my own if i had
enough money on my own
i would not ask anybody for help in this
organization
because i do know how big this mitzvah
is i wouldn't even share it with anybody
but i shouldn't put put it together this
way that i have to give whatever i have
to give and the rest i have to get some
clothes so
whatever i cannot do on my own i ask
if a person feels somebody i am so
strongly
and i am thankful for that there are
people that do feel that way
if they can't do it on their own they
should get other people to do
i have one family actually you reminded
me while you're asking this question i
have a family
that no money
they do every year a hanukkah problem
i'm actually
connected to that family in a way many
times they invite me to come up for the
channel
i go there for a few minutes we have a
certain relationship
one time i come up and i see there's a
large
basket on the table
filled with with tickets and and
and vouchers and ask what is this
just wait wait after after the sudo
we're having a special program
after the sudan the father gets up and
says
i decided to make the suda from chanukah
something more meaningful
we know what bernardin does we cannot
give money on our own because we do not
have but since we're all an entire
family together
we are going to make a little raffle
over here and we are going to raise
money
and whatever you raise is going to go
for by nine
this was such a beautiful thought
sitting by the table
group of people that do not have any
money and the raffles went for small
money
but i was so proud to sit there these
people really tried
out of their bags and who knows if in
chamine this few dollars were not more
important
than a lot of other monies that came
from big people and they were just as
much as mad sleep and having a baby
because
their heart was there everybody can help
everybody can do it's all about limits
if we put ourselves in limits then we're
not going to be mad sleep
if we understand that we're above limits
then we can demonstrate
in any situation
let's let's let's the last two and then
we're gonna go to closing match
i'm asking the question this way we
spoke about a little bit but i want to
ask it again
and we got a lot of different versions
this is probably the most general asked
question okay
my son and daughter-in-law have not had
children for many years now
i was advised to be supportive and give
them the space they need
my question is i have some money i can
give them
also they started missing a lot of
cinches and i understand the situation
is very hard
when the younger siblings are making
brisim and bar mitzvahs
please advise how do i go about being
supportive to my children
and being there for them was this
i i just want to reconfirm the question
was this a financial question
a they have money they they know their
kids don't have
you know money to pay for treatments and
it's many many years so they have the
money they want to give it to them but
how
and b now there's also the general
question the other siblings are making
bar mitzvahs and
their older siblings their younger
siblings and they don't know how to be
supportive for them
we got this version this question about
20 different versions yeah you're asking
the wrong person this question
there's nothing in the world as
important as helping a couple have a
child
have a baby there's going to be a bar
mitzvah there's going to be a british
and there's going to be a tinnie there's
a question how fancy it's going to be
and how beautiful it's going to look
what the silica is going to be this
couple has no children
this is not even a question everything
they have
anything they're ready to share a child
that has no children comes first
above all not even a question
if they have a hard time giving it
themselves to the children
they can always contact others or they
can counter guarantee a lot of people
that do that
i would like to sponsor my son like i
don't want them to know i'm not
comfortable
going through me there's so many ways
how we can help a couple in anonymity
but if the question is if they come
first
absolutely people do not
have the depth of the pain infertility
is
it's not that somebody has a life but
has an issue of infertility
they have no life don't you understand
getting up in the morning
getting out of bed and getting dressed
to start the day
is a struggle for what
so what am i who am i doing this for
people don't have
peace a second in the day nothing
satisfied nothing is happy no traveling
no vacations this is
all silly stuff it goes along with you
this pain meets you wherever you are
for sure this is the biggest mitzvah and
the first hassan
that a person can do in his family or in
general
in my humble opinion okay i think we
should go to the last question over here
if we've been trying so many so many
treatments for over 10 years with so
much pain
without success as of yet i would
personally thank bernie island for all
they have tried
and did for us but from from a physical
point of view if you can please give
myself and my husband practical physique
to keep trying and being besemka
the first point of hezek is that you're
given a chance still to try
that's your first point of physical if
there is
still chances to try hopefully my name
can be there for you now definitely try
my best that's the first part of physics
the second point of hezekias
that we have to understand children is a
gift from the dubai insulin
we cannot set terms we cannot
threaten we cannot take it in a way if i
don't have it
i'm not going to be able to survive we
have to talk like intelligent people and
like
hashem is the one in charge whether
you're going to be mid-slave or nuts
all we have to do is restartless nothing
else really matters
i have seen people that had literally
zero chances i walked in with a baby
and i've seen people walk in for
treatments we're having 90
chances to be successful and end up with
zero
it's all hashem's hands shem doesn't
need us
to plan the future if this doesn't work
i'll do this
it doesn't it's not for us all we have
to do is style this
yes in a very smart way in a way that
which
could be the rest
just take it as hashem gives it to us
when hashem says that we are makable
the way we should be macabre soon hashem
will answer us
quick closing because i know right now
has to go right back and give us five
more minutes
and we're to wrap it up regardless of
coming on time for school
i think tonight was an amazing program
we really we covered a lot and we'd
rather get tremendous physic
and you know sure maxed out our zoom
really a lot more people try to come on
hopefully they'll be able to watch the
show
but if we got maxed out by five by five
thousand registrants nobody else could
have came on but the grocery store
coming on we really covered practical
things might be from all angles
it was tremendous physical again for
everybody watching every sunday night at
10 o'clock on the zoo share we have
you know different shiro different
topics please spread the word let
everybody know about it
next sunday july 25th we're going to

special thank you to our sponsor the
lakewood school bravia and
kazakh mika silva from seattle live kyla
caldwell shows home from jcn
coach manatham a quick closing and then
we'll give him a bachelor to
just leave up with a few words of khizuk
because he has to go
i feel tonight is was really a topic of
pretty very very close to the ivisted
to hashem who runs the world and he's in
charge and like we said
all we do over here is a stateless and
like you said we shouldn't
we shouldn't put any limits because it's
not up to us
anyways so once we understand it's not
us it's hashem
so it's a it's above the limits and
what do we know we just continue doing
what we need to do
and i'll give a broker for everyone now
everyone for those in need that are
shown for help there should be
light at the end of the tunnel whatever
it is they should have physic to
we all know when there's election going
on there's a very famous
sign that comes that's being shown
around your vote counts
what i want to sign off tonight is with
a feeling that i've spoken about it many
many times
and i want to repeat it again because i
feel that people do not get it
if every person in claudia's room would
understand
and believe that he really or she really
can make a difference
in another person's life this world
would be a lot better
many people have set themselves guides
guidelines i can't do this i can't do
that
i can't get around that i can't get
involved with this
my point to tell you is i have
today a team of 75 people just
responding to calls
you know that ninety percent of them
never had any shy history anything in
fertility
they were nice people they called what
can i help you with
there's no such thing that a person
cannot be helpful in any situation
yes in some areas more some areas less
when it comes to points in a fertility
if a person can understand
for instance we do now a charity
campaign now
this zoom is not set up any fundraising
but i will use it as an example
i have a budget i don't even know what
numbers are
because but my budget constantly moves
every month as the requests come in
if every person counts to understand how
much he can have
how helpful he can be to help cover a
couple whether
it's just an appointment or just to buy
medication or for whatever they offer an
ivf or whatever it is
you can really make a difference how do
you think bueno
made a difference in almost ten thousand
children only by people in classroom
that believe that they can make a
difference when
hundreds of thousands of from you will
believe
that they can make a difference i
wouldn't have to struggle
my time is much more worth for quality
so
when i don't have to be busy with
fundraising i just sit mend the phones
talk to people connect doctors get
openings and labs
which i am best at i do fundraising
because
unfortunately i can't move on if i can't
pay
if everybody in cloudless will
understand how much even
a little bit more better whatever you
can do
be part of supporting
you don't even know how far that money
is going to go and i want to end up with
one tiny little story
many years ago i got a call and that's
this room
a tomorrow actually big a little
i never got his name right and he
explained to me
how do you know who i am he says i did
my research this is a very sensitive
in a very confidential issue that can i
have from you
i promise this but this discussion will
never go out and tell the
public i don't even know who you are
just listen to me
i am a rav of a couple the man is the
mossad agent
he has to be anonymous man does not
exist in this world
man is involved with major missions his
identity is not known it's mr a
or mr b whatever i think was mr a
actually
but he has to go through a major
treatment can you promise me
that you can help me get this couple
through it
it's going to be difficult but can only
be dealt through me
not with a couple and only you can't
have anybody else involved
children down my spine who knows who's
showing up tomorrow by my door
that's all i need the massage behind me
i said absolutely
why not i'm not going to go through
detail this was
seven eight months of very very it was
very complicated
many times we were only able to connect
by notes now i'm in america he's in
israel
we had messages come pick up closed
envelopes
it was it was a story and this man had
to go through a major surgery i had to
get him into a hospital in israel
we had to do the surgery without even
the doctor knowing who this man is
we had to pull together so many strings
to get this done
and when it was all over never met this
person
i was waiting a month or two i didn't
make
i'd make up i made up with this rob any
results please let me know
ten months later he calls me up i was
furious
he says now i can call you
a baby boy was born it says how in the
world did you let me wait for 10 months
from you if you would know what
sensitive position this person has in
the mossad
you wouldn't ask me why but i did get a
gift
i got a gift by the buddhist how this
man walked in with his baby in his hands
and he cried out
i have that recording chills i listen to
that type
of keeper
everybody can make a difference it's
easier sometimes it's harder
i took upon myself a job which no normal
person would do
but i knew and i understood and i felt
his pain
everybody can do it and everybody should
do
i'm looking out for clothes to be
supporting me
i should be able to do what i can do
best to clog israel
and may hashem reward us all because
they hit finally they called straight
fashions
unbelievable tonight again tonight the
charity event was
started today it's going through
tomorrow anybody that has extra money
and nice money any money
as you can hear from tonight's
conversation how vital it is and it's
just
it's just it's being used mama to build
values
and i always say a person that goes
through sorrow and grows from the torah
is like the ultimate level right
you're like on that epitome of that you
know
so i i i happen to disagree with you
i've seen much
better people do much a better job than
i've done but and i disagree with you
and i okay okay okay
we agreed to disagree that's right
robert you're a tablet we love you
thank you thank you thank you happy
convention make hundreds of millions
thank you thank you thank you
