Left behind: Rejoicing remembers the victims of the disaster who are still hospitalized

May 17, 2022   

We all remember the 45 victims of the 'Meron disaster', who perished last year in the 'corridor of death' in the Zion Rashbi compound. But not everyone remembers that two boys who were rescued in critical condition from the disaster are still there today - a year after the terrible disaster, in serious condition. Elazar Berger, 13, and Yossi Wright, 16, are both still hospitalized in the Alyon Rehabilitation Hospital. Both still do not speak, have not yet gotten out of their sickbeds, and hardly move their limbs. Since the disaster, the families have been uprooted from their previous lives. The family members are tormented, are constantly by their side, caring for them with devotion, and do not stop praying and hoping that their sons will get back on their feet, return to talking, eating, learning, and being happy like other children their age. The family members appeal to the people of Israel and ask everyone who can to take upon themselves a study, prayer or good deed, and with God's help we will merit good news for all of Israel. Please pray and invoke abundant mercy from Heaven for the healing of: Elazar ben Reuma Yosef Azriel ben Chaya Michal
