Arutz-7 will be completing a 24-hour radio-thon this afternoon on behalf of the Puah Institute, headed by Rabbi Menachem Burstein of Jerusalem. Puah provides counseling and guidance to couples with fertility problems.



Guests in the studio today included Tzvi Sand, whose son Chanan planned to marry Nava Appelbaum two days ago - plans that were destroyed when she was murdered the night before in the Cafe Hillel terrorist bombing. Mr. Sand said that his presence today on behalf of Puah was his response to the terrorists, and that "especially now" he wished to help bring many more potential brides and grooms into the world. Puah reports that 25% of couples face difficulties in having children, over 100 couples turn to the Institute each day for help at no charge - and Puah is able to help 95% of those who turn to them.
