Missing Shmuly: A Conversation for the Nine Days

The Nine Days before Tisha B’Av are a time when we remember what we’ve lost—the Beis Hamikdash, of course, and so much more. In this very special episode, I sit down with four amazing siblings from Ramot, Yerushalayim—Moshe (15), Nachi (13), Aaron (12), and Leah (9)—who share their story about their little brother Shmuly a”h, who passed away when he was only two years old. They talk about how they remember him, how their family keeps his memory alive, and how his short life still makes a big difference in their home. From a special memory box with Shmuly’s toys, to birthday cards they write him every year, these kids show us what real love, pain, and nechama look like. We also speak about how missing Shmuly helped them understand what it means to miss the Beis Hamikdash—and how their pain helped them feel more for other people in Klal Yisrael who are also going through hard times. When Nachi says, “When Mashiach comes, Shmuly will come too,” it’s a reminder that our personal tefillos and dreams are all part of the bigger picture of geulah. This episode is emotional, inspiring, and so real. It will help you think about the Nine Days in a whole new way—with heart, with hope, and with love for all of Am Yisrael. 💔➡️❤️ ......................................................................... 🎬 Don’t forget to pre-order our brand new Tisha B’Av film “Rebuild: The Quest to Bring Moshiach” at ikfilm.org — a powerful and meaningful way to spend Tisha B’Av as a family. .........................................................................
