Yona Yacobowicz is an unusual woman. She triumphed over a
debilitating physical illness and founded Tofa'ah, the Jewish world's first
woman's band. With all her accomplishments, though, something vital was
missing in her life - a child. Finally after years of prayer and hope, her
baby, Yisroel Meir , was born.
But could this child survive?
In the Miracle Next Door we enter the incomparable world of Yisroel Meir
Yacobowicz. This is a world where daunting medical equipment goes by names
like "Sammy the Snake" and the "Kangaroo." It is a world where every
breath is a blessing, a place where miracles are daily affairs and bitachon,
faith, is the most important part of treatment. The story of Yisroel
Meir's life is more than one of medical triumph despite incredible odds; in
these pages we follow the poignant drama of a life-and-death battle and learn
the power of an endless supply of smiles.
