Becoming A Ger Was Hard. But What Happened Next Was Impossible. Michael Glazer sometimes turns heads in Jerusalem: He's an avreich with a black hat, but he doesn't quite have the Jewish "look." In fact, a decade ago, he wasn't even Jewish. As a young man, Michael was searching for meaning in lfe. When he was exposed to Yiddishkeit, it was like seeing color for the first time. He had such a sparkling clarity- After so much searching, he knew he had found the truth. And he wanted to be part of it in every way. Michael became Ger Tzedek, got married to his wife Rachel, and moved to Eretz Yisroel. Over the years, they were blessed with seven beautiful children and became very much a part of the community. Now that Michael has colon cancer, however, the couple is going through an extremely challenging time.  Due to lack of finances, Michael has been forced to go off treatment. This life-threatening move came after the family could no longer afford to pay for the costly treatment, leaving him to become progressively weaker. The Torah commands us several times to love Geirim and to help them at all costs during their time of need. Michael and his wife are getting more and more desperate to put him back onto life-saving treatment, and that financially they can't do that on their own at the moment. After all this couple has been through, they hope that the community will be there for them in their time of need.  To make a massive difference in this family's lives and to read more about their incredible journey to Judaism, click here.
