Yishai Cohen is the second of nine siblings. Speaking about his mother, Dikla, he said, "She has no day and no night."
His father, Avihu, died suddenly about two and a half years ago, and Dikla has raised the children alone ever since. The debts have grown to about NIS 1 million. Part of it is owed to the Israel Tax Authority for income tax and VAT, and the bank is pressing for payment too. The family faces enforcement proceedings, and the children risk losing the home they grew up in.

Now her son is stepping forward. Yishai is asking the public to help so that the debts will be taken off his mother's shoulders.
Avihu was a building contractor, and those who knew him describe a man who helped anyone in need. Rabbi Yigal Cohen, head of the Yabia Omer institutions and a member of the Chief Rabbinate Council, has joined the appeal and asked the public not to leave the family alone.
