Yoni works in hi-tech as a technical writer, but outside work time is involved in communal activities, himself serving as a gabbai both on the moshav where he lives and during the time he lived in RBS. He is also a volunteer firefighter and took part in the Jerusalem area fire in August 2021.

  • This is a story about thinking.

    How do we think about life?

    This is also a story about feeling.

    How do we feel about others and G-d?

    Can we find meaning in our challenges?

    Can we control how we think and feel about the surprises that life tends to send our way?

    When we are faced a medical situation, should we simply rely on our doctors or research medical options ourselves? How do we educated moderns approach prayer and trust in G-d? Can we see the goodness of the world during a time of suffering? These journal entries by Ricki Simon and her late husband, Dr. Ely Simon, zl, began as honest and moving reflections as they faced crisis. They have become a beautiful account of a couple's journey, and a touching and inspirational story that will forever change how we deal with challenge, crisis, family, and belief. Enter their world and emerge stronger, deeper, and closer to G-d.

He learned in Gateshead Yeshivah for many years under the direction of the Rosh Yeshiva, Rav Avrohom Gurwitz, and then moved to Israel where he has been studying, in Ponevezh Yeshivah and Kollel, for over twenty years.
