Two years ago, “Sara Cohen”, a mother of five. received the worst news of her life: her 10 year old son “Moshe” had cancer. The doctors said the chance of him surviving wasn’t great, but if he met with a certain specialist in Tel Aviv, he would have a better chance. The problem was this doctor had a waiting list 6 months long, time Moshe didn’t have to spare. Sara called up Darchei Miriam and after they made a few calls,her son had a meeting with the specialist only 3 days later, which ultimately saved his life.

The Neve Yaakov community was struck by a tragic loss this Rosh Hashana, with the passing of 30-year-old father of 4 Moshe Bergman. Moshe was a grandson of Rav Shach, and was known for his dedication to Torah learning & prayer, as well as his sense of humor. Bergman left behind a wife and four children, aged 6, 4, 3 and 1.
When Moshe was originally diagnosed with cancer one year ago, doctors felt confident that it was not a severe case, and that with treatment he would be fine. Unfortunately, that could not have been further from the truth. Though the initial treatments were successful, months later Moshe was at a dentist’s appointment when the doctor noticed another growth. It was discovered that the cancer had not only returned, but had spread to his brain.
