First-Time 88-Year Old Father: The Story of a Rabbi Who Never Gave Up
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 ส.ค. 2024
- Rabbi Tzvi Kushelevsky, a respected rosh yeshiva based in Jerusalem, joyfully welcomed his firstborn son into the world this March at the age of 88.
Rabbi Kushelevsky experienced the sorrow of becoming a widower at 82, having never had children with his first wife. He remarried six years later to Mrs. Rochel Daniella, an American woman aged 50 at the time, already a mother to several children.
At 88, Rabbi Kushlefsky and his Rebbetzin, now 57, celebrated the birth of their first son together. The joyous event occurred at Hadassah Medical Center in Jerusalem, where the baby was born healthy, without any complications, thank God.
The streets of Jerusalem near his yeshivas were alive with dancing as the community shared in his happiness.
In this episode, I traveled to Lakewood to meet them and to ask them about their faith and trust in Hashem. Oh and to also meet the very adorable Eliyahu (their son).

His wife is 57 or 56 when she had a child just as much a miracle.
It is bigger miracle.
The difference is that she had a 5 children but with the Rosh Yeshiva he not only never had children but had been trying for 65 years and the doctors told him it would be IMPOSSIBLE to EVER have a child.
its one of the biggest miracles in the world in fact, She would be the 2nd oldest woman to give birth naturally in the world in recorded history. But its more likely she used donor eggs.
Are they allowed to use donor eggs though?@@DR-cr3zo
I agree - the chances of this being 100% natural is very unlikely. Beautiful child though! @@DR-cr3zo
This makes me sob like a little school girl. I am not Jewish, but i have worked with frum Yiddishkeit in glatt kosher shechita as a federal meat inspector for USDA FSIS. My career was ended by a injury so now I am working towards my batchelors degree in Animal Science and Agribusiness at the age of nearly 45. Some days, I feel like I'm not doing well enough and Ill never get this degree and I let my beloved dad down. This gives me hope. Ha-Shem answers prayers, you just have to have the faith of a tiny child. If he was granted his miracle, perhaps I can get mine too. I wish to teach agriculture to the next generation.
Mazal Tov!! My daughter gave birth the day after the Rebbetzin in the same hospital and was in the kimpaturim home the same Shabbos. The joy was indescribable. My son in law learned in Heichel Hatorah for several years and he and my grandson were abe to attend the bris. May Eliyahu grow to Torah, chuppah and ma'asim tovim and shine his light on Klal Yisrael in his future.
The baby is so calm in his father’s arms, being soothed by his gentle voice. Praise the Lord!
My mate is 70 and he has never married or ever had a child and i am 59 and never married or had a child. I gave up hoping but he still believes he could still be a father and i never believed it but having seen theis, my faith is renewed. I sent him a link to the video.
It is inspiring. The mother has had a few kids already, so that helped a lot. She had a natural birth & nurses the baby! Remarkable!! It's neat he has a bunch of siblings.
My friend tried for 11 years for a second baby. I hadn’t known her very long but we came together in prayer and asked in Jesus’s name for a healthy baby for her and it was given. Even after the drs said give up. He is absolutely beautiful and now their family is complete.
it is possible for you if you use donor eggs and your partners sperm, I assume that is what they did
Awwww so cute. I hope the Rabbi lives a long long life.
He already has...
Ad 120 with good health, safety and happiness 😇
🙌🏻✡️💟
Amen !
What a miracle indeed!! I am not a Jew but I came across your channel which I love seeing the contents of. This episode, this story is one of the most beautiful and inspirational things I have ever seen. It strengthens my hope as well. Thank you for sharing.
Thank God for His mighty grace. The baby is very healthy and normal. God be praised.
Rabbi, you have put your trust in God, and He has been faithful.
May Hashem bless all the young Jewish families who are waiting ❤❤
Amen
This baby is going to keep him young
I have been waiting on the Lord for 8 years. I believe the God of Abraham and Sarah. Today, I prayed to God to give me a message and I go to TH-cam. When I scroll up, I get this wonderful testimony. My faith lift up. God is faithful for those who trust in Him.
That's a beautiful baby, best wishes to all.
What a miracle! yasher koach, so amazing to hear it directly from R' Tzvi and his rebbetzin and see Eliyahu.
Thank you Hashem!
Miracles for all Yidden
Thank you Hashem! I have been waiting so many years now and this story gives me hope. Thank you 🙏🏻
I want to hug that baby! So special!
What A Miracle!! Great episode! Mazel Tov!!
Mazel Tov. A baby regardless of the age of the parents is a Mitzvah ❤
Delay is not a denial...
In GOD's time, he makes all things beautiful...
Faith in action..
GOD is Faithful to bring his promises to pass..
Love from Nigeria ❤❤❤
Baruch HaShem 😮❤this is marvelous
Wow, Hashem is so amazing!!! That is just taking my breath away. Such a beautiful baby.. As someone who is losing hope, they are right. G-d will provide.
Mazal Tov! It took us 8+ years to get pregnant, and I thank G-d every day for the resources to do so. Infertility is horrible. G-d bless this lovely family.
"Us" to get pregnant??? Last I looked only females get pregnant....Why can't you use the word "you"? Do you get less Gan Eden, is it less respect by using "you"???
@@dovygoodguy1296
Buddy,
Who Made your Mother Pregnant?
A Rock? A Tree? Or a Father?
@@tzvi3660 Pregnancy is A STATE of gestation in the female body. You can ONLY have "we" for such a process if you're transgender!
I can’t imagine the pain. I have struggling to get married for 10+ years and it seems impossible. What really amazed me is that he said he never suffered because hashem does everything for the “good”. I wish I had that level of emunah…
@dovygoodguy1296 why would I not include my husband? He suffered and prayed as well.
What a miracle. Not for God but for us. He speaks it happens.
What a wonderful amazing baby. Congratulations 💐.
What a miracle ! Baruch Hashem ❤️
What a miracle!
So much Chizuk and encouragement, unbelievable!
I was drawn to this podcast, due to the headline, in awe of the Rosh Yeshiva. I came out of the podcast in awe of the Rebbetzin. What an Eishes Hayil!

Hashem has rewarded the Rabbi’s great emunah. What a beautiful baby, such a beautiful blessing. 💙

What a wonderful interview!
Wonderful! Praise the Lord! You are Tremendous! Lord, you never change! Another miracle, a blessing comes to the world! A graceful baby, there is nothing abnormal, you gave health, vigor, pleasure to Abraham at 100 years old, Why not this servant of yours? Isaac, aged 60, prayed a lot in the field and these twins, and Jacob, aged 60, had 13 children, and so on, so many other Jews, believe and you will see the glory of God! Grant more years to these parents to accompany this baby's growth Lord! Amen ❤
Incredible, I appreciated the rebeztin being so real about her experience and talking to the real struggles of real people...
This is so beautiful 🎉❤
What a miracle. What a kiddush Hashem
Abraham and Sarah, it's a true story! THE LORD IS FAITHFUL and trustworthy.
I loved this episode! Such chizuk...and emunah and bitachon in "real time". Yasher koach Yaakov for arranging and filming this interview.
God's miracles abound! LOVE this video! A beautiful testimony of faith, God's never-ending LOVE and ceaseless mercies! Baruch Hashem 🙏 This is an important video for all to comprehend the power of prayer and abiding in God. God's continued blessings upon the Kushlefsky family. And how wonderful to see Living Lchaim YT channel growing. . I think I first came on board when there were only a handful of viewers. Mazel tov! (Thank you - appreciate the subtitles ❤)
Fantastic Thsnx another great episode. And another great personality!
What a miracle!!! KnH!! Amazing so inspiring!
Huge hisorerus and chizuk!! Thank you for this interview!
What a miracle 😊
What a miracle! BH! Thank you for sharing! May we only share in simchas
This story touched me deeply when I first read about it. May the Lord give them many many years of life to care for their beautiful baby and siblings. I can somehow relate to the story because just like Ana in the Old Testament, I wept and poured out my heart more times than I can count before the Lord. But thru many years and over 10 losses I never doubted that my Father in Heaven would grant my longing to become a mother. After 15 years of that wait, He gave us a 3 year old, then 9 months after a 21 month old, then a year later a newborn. 🥹😭❤ My God is mighty and powerful and can do that and more. And while none of my children came from my womb they surely came from my heart. For those still waiting, I see you and fully understand you. I know it’s very heartbreaking and a lonely journey but please never ever lose hope and faith.
Mazel Tov, HaShem’s miracle 🙏
Miracle baby
