“Our Father, Our King, grant a complete recovery to all the sick members of Israel”
October 3, 2006 - 5:54 PM by Sarah
A year ago, a 22-year-old Israeli army lieutenant was injured by friendly fire during an “incident” against Palestinian fighters in Gaza — injured so seriously, that his survival was touch-and-go, and even if he did survive, doctors found his chances of ever waking up again to be slim.
Yesterday, on Yom Kippur, he walked, unaided, into his local synagoge, approached the lecturn, and interrupted the cantor in order to say a prayer for the healing of the sick, on behalf of the congregation.
David Bogner (aka Treppenwitz) tells the whole story here.
