Wednesday Chanukah at the Homes of R’ Shimon Galai and at the Mozhitzer Rebbe Shlit”a

December 25, 2019

Wednesday, Fourth Night of Chanukah


R’ Shimon Galai has long been close to Buneinu and despite being stuck at home with a cold, insisted that the children come visit as this offers him a great amount of chizuk. The Rosh Hakollel asked the boys to daven for him and mentioned that we all need to be grateful for the good that Hashem bestowed upon us. He shared that he was once in a bad accident and spent months in recovery while he couldn’t walk. This led him to a greater appreciation for the little things in life, and he urged the children to learn to be grateful for all the good things we do have.


The boys then danced with R’ Shimon and received Chanukah gelt. He also mentioned that he heard about the opening of the new Buneinu house in Bnei Brak and that he would be honored to come if one of the boys were to host a siyum there. One bachur announced that he was close to finishing shas and the Rosh Hakollel agreed to come to the new Buneinu house to grace the grand siyum!

After the aforementioned visit, the children went over to the home of the Mozhitzer Rebbe who is closely aware of Buneinu’s efforts because his school has a number of orphaned students who benefit from the program. The children sang Mozhitzer songs and heard from one of the Rebbe’s close chassidim, R’ Moshe Taussig Shlit”a (brother of the famed speaker R’ Aron Taussig Shlit”a).


R’ Moshe shared the story of his childhood. He was left orphaned from both parents since the time of his Bar Mitzvah. R’ Moshe gave over in great detail how he took control of his life and grew up to be a prominent Talmud Chachum and teacher of Torah. These inspiring words left a great impression on all attendees. The Rebbe than shared words of bracha and chizuk before handing each child a special coin and wishing them luck in dealing with their personal challenges.
