The Shalva story: an example of how Hashem assigns missions to people
One of my great joys in writing a regular column is the ability to share things that move or excite me people, ideas, books. I’m an enthusiast by nature, and one’s enthusiasms are enhanced by being experienced with others.
I won’t guarantee that Rabbi Kalman Samuels’s Dreams Never Dreamed will be every person’s favorite book ever. But I would be genuinely surprised to hear from anyone who was not inspired and uplifted by it.
The story begins with a tragedy. Yossi, the second child of Kalman and his wife Malki, was left blind, as well as extremely hyperactive, by a contaminated whooping cough vaccine when he was just short of a year old. He would subsequently lose his hearing as well.

A group of 13 artists from four countries will have their works exhibited during Distant Conversations at the RCB Galleria 2 of River City Bangkok, Charoen Krung 24, from tomorrow to April 30.
Presented by La Lanta Fine Art, the exhibition will feature interdisciplinary artworks of various genres from pop art to classical, abstract and realism as rendered through different disciplines printmaking, oil and acrylic painting, paper cutting, and mixed media of ceramic and yarn.
The exhibition title refers to the discourse of creative minds that goes beyond geographical boundaries.
Participating artists include world-renowned David Gerstein from Israel whose large-scale vibrant artwork is collected in major institutions in Israel, Asia and Europe; and Cambodia-based Belgian artist Christian Develter whose powerful portraits reflect his sense of beauty and the spirit of each character.
