“I Say Thank God for Everything He Gives”

IFCJ Canada  |  October 17, 2025

Esther’s life has been marked by hardship, resilience, and unshakable faith.

From a fearful childhood in Iraq to the struggles of raising her children alone in Israel, she has faced every challenge with quiet strength. Today, in her later years, Esther is surrounded by the family she worked so hard to build. Her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren fill her home with love and laughter.

A devoted member of her synagogue, Esther attends morning and evening services, drawing daily strength from her faith. Her simple refrain, “Everything is good,” captures a heart that has learned to choose gratitude, even through pain and loss.

“I want to thank them. They are doing a truly great mitzvah. It helps so much. With the 300 shekels I receive each month, I can buy quality food which I otherwise couldn’t afford,” Esther said.
