Adam Fox: My Illness May Kill Me - But It Brought Me Closer to Hashem

Adam Fox is a Tucson, Arizona native and he has worked with Hillel (U of Arizona, Colorado State) and Chabad at NAU in Flagstaff, deeply shaping Jewish life on campus and fighting antisemitism.

Since early 2025, he has battled a rare, life-threatening volvulus (twisted intestines), undergoing multiple emergency surgeries (at least four in 2026), infections, complications, and major lifestyle changes.

His illness has strengthened his Jewish journey - crediting Chabad for his growth, proudly observing mitzvos, and remaining committed to Torah, Jewish unity, and Am Yisrael Chai even from his hospital bed.

We filmed this before his last surgery. Adam did not know if he'd wake up from it.
