The recent Mosdos Ohr HaTorah graduate, 19, was walking down the street when the bomb exploded and threw her into the air, her mother Wendy Green said. Her leg was on fire, and she put out the flames with her hands, said her mother.
“It was a kindness from HaShem that she wasn’t killed,” her mother related Leah telling her.
Wendy Green is not sure when her daughter will be released from the hospital or how bad the leg burn is because “burns are progressive.”If the burn is severe, Wendy Green said she would fly to Jerusalem to be with her daughter.

May Leah have a speedy and full recovery.
i dont get it. is she somehow more important than the other injured because she is ‘orthodox?’
What’s wendys Hebrew name so we can pray for leah
The name for tehilim is Leah Bracha bas Shoshana Basya
It is in the news because she is orthodox, it is a descriptive word to let us know which community she is from.
This specific casualty is mentioned in the news because she is an American girl.
No this was specifically mentioned because she’s a seminary girl from America. Not because she’s orthodox
Compare and contrast the comments on this sad story with the adjacent report entitled “Israel – Fatality in Jerusalem Bombing Was British Tourist”, where the dead woman’s name does not appear to be “Jewish”.
Not to worry, Mr. Levin. baruch Hashem, money is not an issue over there.
If it is sever enough she’ll fly to Jerusalem? For G-d’s sakes her daughter was a victim of a terrorist bomb. Why isn’t she there already? Most Jewish mothers’ would be on the next flight out if C”V something happened to their child.
