He was just a bachur in yeshivah going about his regular day. Then he received a call from his rebbi and regular ceased to exist. The rebbi told him his father had been in an accident and that Avram was going home. Avram felt scared, but he was sure his father would be okay. Right? I mean fathers don’t just go on business trips and die.

But that is exactly what happened. And Avram had to face a whole new reality: Shabbos and yom tov without his father; making decisions about which yeshivahs to attend without his father; seeing his mother as an aching widow.

Despite the challenges, he knew he wanted to follow in his father’s footsteps, living the life of an ehrliche ben Torah and filling his days with chesed.

Come listen to this husband and father as he relates his struggles and growth as a boy who suddenly became an orphan.
