Two childless brothers share their story of pain, hope and salvation
When Reb Yitzchak (Itzik) Churi heard the first cry of the newborn as his wife Efrat gave birth in the delivery suite of Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital last month, it was, he says, “a ‘boom’ I can’t describe. When they handed my wife the tiny, living, breathing baby girl, she held her close and in a tear-choked voice whispered, ‘I’ve been waiting for you for 21 years.’ The staff was all crying along with us. We saw the miracle unfold before our eyes.”
For more than two decades, the Churis embarked on the bumpy road of medical treatments, followed recommendations by concerned friends and relatives, offered up heartrending tefillos and entreaties, and accessed segulos and brachos, all so that they could become parents. But the yeshuah did not come until Shabbos parshas Vayikra a few weeks back, the day they finally became a family.
