About this episode

The episode explores the extraordinary life of Rebbitzin Libbi Kakon, a deaf woman who, alongside her husband, built a yeshiva for deaf students and overcame significant challenges.

When I first heard about Rebbetzin Libbi Kakon, I thought the story would be about a remarkable couple who, despite both being deaf, built a yeshiva for deaf and hearing-impaired students. Then I heard the rest of the story. What I discovered was a woman who refused to let life's challenges define her. Together with her husband, Rabbi Chaim Tzvi Kakon, she helped build a unique yeshiva serving deaf students, raised a family, navigated extraordinary challenges, and continued finding ways to help others.
