1 Samuel 1:4-20
Aish.com, a website for individuals who participate in Judaism, shares an article written by Bayla Sheva Brunner on the issue of childless women. Childless herself, Brunner wanted to explore the situations of others. She quotes a woman in her 60s named Bracha as saying: “Since I was very young, I dreamt I was going to have ten kids. God decided that would not be my path. As difficult as it is to accept, ‘no’ is a full sentence.”
