NEW YORK (VINnews) — A Hatzalah member present on a packed flight from Chicago to Newark this week made a big Kiddush Hashem when he treated a woman who had suffered seizures on the plane, according to a report by Lakewood Alerts.

The seizures occurred just as the United Airlines plane was readying for departure and the pilot was not immediately able to turn the plane around and reach the gate where he had departed. However Yosef Reiner of Central Jersey Hatzalah intervened and raced to the patient’s assistance, working to stabilize her and protect her from injury during three separate seizures she suffered.
Reiner was hailed by the other passengers as a hero for his prompt and professional treatment.
After about half an hour, the plane was able to return to its gate. Local paramedics were then brought onboard and transported the patient to the hospital.
Kol Hakavod Yossi!!! we need more heroes like you!
Beautiful no fighting acting at but a real kidush hasham
Then you aren’t an eylicha yid. Two hundred people saw a frum Jew come to some strangers aid that’s that’s a kiddish hasham A guy with a yarmulke saved a live CHeck your Torah reading
A kiddush Hashem is when we do something that causes Hashem to be proud regardless of what people think or feel. If Hashem was honored by this then a Kiddush Hashem it is. If chalila the opposite was true then chalila a Chilul Hashem occurred. Nothing to do what people think about it. Their personal opinion is not the catalyst. I submit that this action of selflessness on the part of a Jew, a stranger, would constitute a Kiddush Hashem.
I wish we can somehow show the Creator of all Humans, HKB”H, that we are a sincerely caring people, who have True love and empathy for all decent Non-Yidden.
When a Jew does something that benefits another person and gives of himself or herself selflessly and it’s pleasing in the public eye, like helping an injured or sick person that constitutes a kiddush hashem. Why is that so because the people observing such an act, for the most part, get a positive vibe and attitude towards the person that’s helping out and if the person doing the good deed is recognized as a Jewish person that certainly becomes a KIDDUSH HASHEM.
What I like to do when I get the chance is, I’m on the subway and this black disheveled person walks through the train begging for money and the train being full of people and nobody budges, me, the Jew, gets up and gives him some money whilst making sure that everyone notices that the Jew, only the Jew with the kippah bothered to help out. That’s a kiddush hashem too and I love doing them !!!
Wow! Mi k’amcha yisrael!
“made a big Kiddush Hashem when he treated a woman”
Can anyone describe what a small Kiddush Hashem looks like?
Just wear that Mask, you may get Biden-Pox next.
It’s a nice story, and kudos to the hatzola member.
However, can anyone state where in the Shulchan Aruch or Rambam it says that this is a kiddush Hashem?
I personally know people with seizures and they have told me many times times. when they have a seizure the only thing they want is privacy and quiet. no commotion, no video now crowds, no ambulance and no hospitals, seizures usually resolves itself on its own in 5 minutes.
seizures are usually not something that needs to be “treated” by first responders.
usually medication are taken to reduce the frequency and severity or to eliminate the seizures. when one suffers seizures usually the only thing needed is to make sure the sufferer does not bump into thing and hurt themselves. for instance if they they are on the street should be protected from cars and people hurting them. other than that its best to just leave them alone and NOT make a scene as this only makes them anxious and increases the seizure
so having the whole plane turned over, people taking video of the incident and bearded men “treating you” could (im not saying it did) make matters worse
What is this a kiddish hashem?? If he has the skills to help someone that is in trouble, and he doesn’t help he is a bum. If say a Muslim helped a Chinese guy who collapsed did he honer Allah? or is he doing what is demanded in civilized society.
Why is it news and why is everything a kiddish hashem? Just the opposite it is saying – a Jew should not be concerned about Goyim, and look at the great thing he did, he helped a goy. Buh-ho
