Top Rabbis Endorse Fertility Aid Campaign Ahead of Yom Kippur

By יואל סילבר
Translated & summarized from JDN by baba
The story · English

Leading rabbis from across the Orthodox spectrum have met with representatives of the "Bnei Ovlam" organization to endorse its "Ayah" fundraising campaign, which aims to support thousands of couples struggling with infertility. The campaign, timed before the High Holy Day of Yom Kippur, seeks to raise funds for the organization's extensive services, which include professional and emotional guidance, medical consultation with top doctors, and financial assistance for costly fertility treatments.

During recent meetings, Rabbi Elyakim Levanon, CEO of Bnei Ovlam, along with other organization leaders and rabbis, visited the homes of prominent rabbinic figures. These leaders, familiar with Bnei Ovlam's work founded by Rabbi Shlomo Buchner, expressed deep concern over the numerous cases the organization handles and the significant challenges faced by couples seeking to conceive. They acknowledged the critical need for both professional and emotional support, as well as substantial financial aid to enable continued treatment.

Among the rabbinic leaders who received the Bnei Ovlam delegation were Rabbi Matisyahu Haim Hirsch, Rabbi Mordechai Shternbuch, Rabbi Yitzchak Zilberstein, Rabbi Shimon Steinman, Rabbi Mordechai Shmuel Edelstein, Rabbi Shimon Galai, Rabbi Aharon Salim, Rabbi Mordechai Maya, Rabbi David Yosef, Rabbi Shimon Zafani, Rabbi Aharon Yosef, Rabbi Mordechai Shmuel Klein, Rabbi Shmuel Aaron Stern, Rabbi Shmuel Tzvi Rosenblatt, Rabbi Shimon Rosenberg, Rabbi Mordechai Gross, Rabbi Yitzchak Efrati, and Rabbi Ovadia Fried. The delegation also visited the residences of rebbes from the Toldos Avrohom Yitzchok, Bialla, Modzitz, and Munkatch Hasidic dynasties.

The rabbis emphasized the great merit in establishing Jewish homes and blessed the donors and partners of the "Ayah" campaign, assuring them that the merit of this mitzvah would bring them blessings, success, and the fulfillment of their heartfelt wishes. Bnei Ovlam highlighted that thousands of couples rely on their comprehensive support system, which provides access to treatments that would otherwise be out of reach. The organization urges the public to join the "Ayah" campaign, emphasizing the opportunity to contribute to bringing life into the world and building future generations, thereby meriting the blessings of the great rabbis ahead of the Day of Judgment.
