The father of the orphans is gone: Chabad Chassidim are rallying for the Fisher family
On Tisha B’Av, Rabbi Daniel Fisher was asked to the court of Ma’ale, and he is only 58 years old, and in this world he left behind hundreds of friends who loved him so much, and a family bleeding from pain, among them four orphans that he did not get to lead to the Chupa. We can’t heal the terrible break, but we can give the family a big hug, We don’t leave the orphans alone!
It happened two years ago, on a clear day. The news fell on the Fisher family, and on hundreds of other friends who saw Rabbi Daniel as a close friend, perhaps their best friend. of each of them.
Danny, everyone called him with great love, love and admiration. He brightened everyone’s face, brightened and warmed everyone he met. He radiated goodness and kindness and Hasidic warmth to everyone who came in contact with him. With a rare sense, he knew how to pay attention, help, be supportive, give advice, encouragement and a kind word. Everyone loved him, everyone saw him as a Hasidic figure and a symbol of a true Hasid, connected to the Rebbe with all his soul, and serving as a burning beacon of light.
Two years ago we were all informed that the horrible disease was discovered in him. The darkness struck the one who was a symbol of light and goodness, death came to the one who was full of life like a ball of fire. Rabbi Daniel did not give up and fought the angel of death with supreme bravery, and with treatments that cost a fortune, far beyond imagination. Even when he suffered and was tormented, he continued to radiate joy and vitality to all his surroundings, his family, and the community.
But the terrible disease won. On Tisha B’Av, Rabbi Daniel was asked to the Beit Din of Ma’ale, and he is only 58 years old, and in this world he left behind hundreds of friends who loved him so much, and a family bleeding from pain, among them four orphans that he did not get to lead to the Chupa.
The widow and the five orphans were left without their pillar, without a father. The pain is terrible and it cuts through the flesh.
We can’t heal the terrible break, but we can give the family a big hug. When the family rises from the Shivaa, the widowed mother will have the heavy task of leading three children who have come of age to the chupah alone, and of holding a bar mitzvah celebration for the little son who will not be able to celebrate with his father when he has reached the age.
They lost a father, but they didn’t lose us. We will be there now, when they need it. We will give them the ability to move on, rise from grief to joy, cheer up and continue to shine in Father’s light.
