Over the past year, RCCS has celebrated, together with the families of three of its youngest patients, the remission of “three little miracles” — three young boys who battled a fight for their young lives…and be”H are now cancer-free.

This heart-warming news was the impetus and inspiration for “Baleichtin” a song that describes the arduous journey of a family whose child was stricken with cancer, r”l. This emotional and inspiring melody was sung by Yoely Greenfield and arranged by Leib Yaacov Rigler. It was originally composed in English (Illuminations) by Noam Kamelhar and Michoel Pruzansky, with the new Yiddish lyrics written by the well-known Yiddish composer and singer, Moti Illowitz. To top it off, beautiful choral arrangements were sung by the Yedidim Choir.

These stars in the world of Jewish music have combined their unique talents to produce a theme song to benefit the many hundreds of cancer patients annually being assisted by RCCS, the Rofeh Cholim Cancer Society.

This beautiful composition and production will be song live at the RCCS Simulcast Miracles Chinese Auction drawing, on December 19, right before Chanukah. Over $400,000 worth of prizes will be awarded that evening, plus the Split-the-Pot Jackpot which, last year, amounted to over $234,000!
