Jon Bon Jovi, best known for his music career, now adds real-life hero to his list of accomplishments. His actions on the bridge serve as a reminder that sometimes, even a conversation can save a life.
Jon Bon Jovi is a well-known public supporter of Israel and is a true oheiv Yisrael.
To save a life is to save a world.
He should make a music video about doing a mitzvah and include this footage.
Look how sad that many people just continued walking on even after seeing her and looking back at her a few times. A lesson to learn about caring about those around us. It can save a life. Don’t have to be a “rock star” to take a few minutes to show you care about someone else’s life.
very special of him….
Its actually interesting what the Halachah is about this, is a non Jewish person who does a good deed like this does he get olam haba see rambam hilchos melachim
I like his rest stop
Wanted …. alive!
Jon Bon Jovi! ALWAYS A GOOD MAN WITH A BIG HEART. When BDS wanted him to boycott the one and only Jewish State, he took his band and played in Israel, loves Israel. I’m not surprised he saved this woman’s life. Thank Hashem that he was there.
Will he be paying her royalties for the song he later releases about it? BTW the album’s hit title will be calked “my greatest release ever” (release, as in freeing the jumper from harm).
