Uriah Stein – A Story of Unwavering Emunah and Strength

Uriah was a lighthouse: a lighthouse  for the balanced response of a Yid to suffering. Uriah underwent tremendous yissurim during the final six years of his life. His search for a cure spanned continents and hospitals the world-over. He left no stone unturned. Yet his joy throughout was remarkable. His faith grew only stronger as his suffering intensified.

He was an eved. And much like the eved Ivri, he “toiled for six years, and went free on the seventh.” This is his story. And the crux of it applies to every one of us, as we face the hester panim of our times.
