WOWOWOWOW!!!!
Baruch Hashem!!
AM Yisrael Chai!!
Kol hakavod!
Why couldn’t they get together a minyan in the hospital and do it l’chatchila?
Emotion over sechel/halacha…
he looks pretty skinny. Hamas probably gave him smallest possible amount of food.
Lucky fellow, thank HaShem….
If you look at the back of the video you see HaRav Herschel Schachter crying.
Did they have a hook up by Avraham Yehoshua also? 🙂
Just one look at some of the insulting comments on this Simcha story of Jewish Soldiers risking their lives to rescue Hostages from the evil hamas terror entity. Great story, disgusting, unTorahdik comments. Feh
I guess there aren’t enough Jews in Israel with whom to bentch Gomel
