For all their married lives these gedolim whispered di Fier Kashes
But throughout all these centuries, another set of questions, too painful to be verbalized, have been echoing in silent harmony. “And what about us? When will we merit to have children? How much longer must we wait? Will we ever be able to provide our children with answers to their questions?”
