Stories with Rav G Episode 6: A Different Kind of Family – The Baal Shem Tov’s Blessing

What happens when a couple can’t have children… but chooses to become parents anyway?

In this moving story from the times of the Baal Shem Tov, Rav G shares how one extraordinary couple embraced a different kind of parenthood—by dedicating their lives to the Torah education of the children in their community. They raised generations of students, poured love into every child’s learning, and filled their home with kindness, laughter, and Torah.

And in return? The community adopted them. And after they passed, those children—now grown—named their own children after them.

This story is about how Hashem blesses those who give, the incredible power of chinuch, and how sometimes… family is built not just through biology, but through Torah, love, and legacy.
