The Baby We Were Told to Terminate | Stories of Hope with Tzipora Grodko

When Malka and Yaakov walked into the studio, no one knew the magnitude of the story they were about to reveal. What began as a routine pregnancy quickly spiraled into fear, medical crises, heartbreak, and impossible decisions — including being told by doctors and rabbinic leadership to terminate.But something inside Malka said no.In this raw, emotional and deeply moving episode, the Slatus family shares their journey of faith, fear, resilience, and the miraculous life of their son, Shaya — a child with Down syndrome who survived life-threatening heart defects, repeated hospitalizations, and surgeries that doctors doubted would help.This episode is for anyone who has ever faced the unknown, battled inner conflict, or questioned their strength. Their courage will change the way you look at special-needs parenting, faith, and what it means to show up for the people you love — even when the world tells you not to.You can reach out to Malka and Yaakov Slatus via email: [email protected] and  [email protected] This episode is sponsored by:► Colel Chabad Pushka AppThe easiest way to give Tzedaka.https://pushkapp.cc/soh___________________________►Pizza BizaDelight your guests with our expansive menu and a culinary experience that exceeds expectations.https://www.pizzabiza.com___________________________►  ReKindleA new documentary exclusively on Meaningful Minute PlusComing Dec. 13th!www.soh.plus
