A mother from Beitar Illit, Hadassah Azriel, has launched a special spiritual initiative one month after the tragic death of her 9-year-old son, Eliyahu Azriel. The boy died from a fire and explosion originating in a recycling bin near his Talmud Torah school. On the thirtieth day following his passing, Azriel shared her profound faith and the family's immense strength, calling on Jewish women and girls across Israel to join a project of unity and spiritual strengthening in her son's memory.
Azriel described the moments of the accident, emphasizing what she believes was a miraculous divine providence. She noted that dozens of children were present, some closer to the explosion than Eliyahu, who was about eight meters away. However, a flying object from the blast struck only him, fatally injuring his windpipe and a major artery. "This miraculous precision comforts and strengthens us, that everything is by divine providence," she stated, expressing her belief that "everything is from Him, blessed be He, and we were privileged to be part of a divine plan."
Citing prominent rabbis who called her son a "public sacrifice," a "righteous and holy child who never tasted sin," Azriel spoke of her deep longing for her son. Yet, within her "agonizing pain," she found understanding of God's longing for each of His children. She now seeks to channel this grief into spiritual action that will bring pleasure to God.
The initiative, blessed by Rabbi Zamir Cohen and encouraged by Rabbi Menachem Stein, urges women and girls to take on one voluntary commitment related to modesty for a single day, Thursday. "For the pure soul of my son Eliyahu, I want to do something special to bring joy and satisfaction to the Creator of the world," Azriel appealed. "I ask that we all unite and give God a gift for one day only, to accept one commitment in modesty in one thing more than every day, for the merit of the people of Israel. I would be very happy if you would take part and spread the word as much as possible. Only good news."
