We reached out to one yeshivah after the next, trying to find a new haven for him, but the response was the same. Each one denied Yossi the right to education. The only thing I could do was daven.

I couldn’t believe my ears! This was the best case scenario! Yossi could go back into his familiar surroundings where he felt comfortable and beloved among his peers. It was the best place for him.

The first thought that crossed my mind was: Thank You, Hashem! How fortunate we are to have a direct line, the power of tefillah.

You know how the yeshuah sometimes comes from the back door? That’s how we felt when we got a phone call one week later from his old yeshivah. The principal actually called us and informed us that they were willing to take Yossi back.

A U.S. Air Force officer was found guilty in a military court of abusive contact. The case is the first-ever court-martial trial and conviction of a general officer in the military branch’s history, an Air Force statement said. During the trial, Maj. Gen. William T.
