Ami Magazine’s 2026 Pesach edition ran an 11‑page feature titled “The Many Miracles Home.”
It told the story of a father who took his two young children—ages seven and nine—to Uman for Rosh Hashanah, where his nine‑year‑old suddenly experienced a life‑threatening medical emergency.
This 11-page spread reported in detail the entire ordeal of what it took to stabilize this child until his airlift to the USA!
First of all, this story should not have been in a section dedicated to "miracles" instead it should have been in a section dedicated to parental neglect, stupidity and questionable criminality!
Who takes two children to a war zone, without their mother?
CPS, the Child Protective Services need to take his children and put them up for adoption ASAP!
The father relates that he first discussed this with an unnamed "mashpia" and what he answered him would make anyone sane person cringe,
“Your older son should certainly go… he needs his father to show him how to daven. As for your younger son, if you have help there, it’s a big inyan for him to travel to Uman before turning seven.”
Excuuuuuse me! It's a big "inyan" to take a child to Uman before turning seven?"
It's a War Zone for heaven's sake?
I know people that were there this Rosh Hashana and told me that to get there, was סכנת נפשות!
Who is this "mashpia?" and who made this insane "inyan" up???
This mashpia guy needs to be exposed as a dangerous charlatan!
He put a father and his minor children in a dangerous position that turned into a "life-and-death" situation. Everything that he predicted was absolutely a colossal failure and a disaster!
The father describes that his 9-year-old sustained an aneurysm in Uman!
The truth is that he would probably have had this aneurysm in his own home, but In is home town he would have excellent care and would be able to speak the language!
Throughout the 10 page spread in Ami, the father describes how he contacted Refuah in New York and other Frum agencies and how everyone helped him navigate the Ukrainian Healthcare system!
Not one of them told him that he was a "sick dangerous" meshiginar!
The miracle was that this child somehow survived despite his reckless father!
