Our Son Uriel's Light: Reflections on Tragedy and Emunah

A stirring expression of grief, loss, and the guiding light of emunah and bitachon in Hashem.

Uriel’s Light is a collection of letters, d’rashos, and reflections written by a shul rabbi during the brief life and the year following the passing of his baby son. This volume will uplift and empower, giving readers the strength to overcome and grow from life’s challenges.

“Rabbi Soniker’s eloquent expressions of grief, intertwined with unwavering faith, serve not only as a heartfelt tribute to his son but also as a source of strength and encouragement for others facing their own tragedies.”

“Uriel’s Light is metaphorically the travel log of that exceedingly difficult but remarkable journey. It shows us…what it means to achieve an emotional realization with the greatest challenges in life…and how to navigate those difficulties as well. Informative and inspiring.”
