Update on Injured Soldiers and Civilians
If you came here from another website please notify the blogger or webmaster of the change.
I am reposting the following from an email list called Survival During Hard Times. Please send updates or corrections to mominisrael@gmail.com.
When Jews pray for the sick, they include the patient's Hebrew first (and middle) name, the word "ben" for son of or "bat" for daughter of, and the mother's Hebrew name.
Updated February 2, 2009
Please pray for our wounded soldiers and civilians. This list below is
incomplete. Please send us any more names that should be included
here, mother's names where missing, corrections and/or any other
updated info about the condition of these soldiers.
May we only hear good news and may they all be healed b'ezrat HaShem
(G-d willing).
Today Feb. 2, 2009, Army Radio announced that Aaron Yehoshua ben Chaya
Shoshana is being transferred from Intensive Care to rehabilitation BH.
He was the soldier who returned to his troops in Gaza the day after his
wedding and was seriously injured in his head. May HaShem continue to heal him and bless him with a long life, a happy marriage and healthy children.
This message was forwarded to us:
Netanel ben Mazel Tov, Israeli soldier wounded in his right arm and
leg, asks us to convey this message: "Thank you for all your prayers
for us soldiers. All the prayers help. May G-d repay you only good."
Then he beseeches us to pray for his buddy Ben, who needs prayers far
more than he does. Ben ben Batya is in critical condition.

Update on Some of the IDF Wounded
February 1, 2009
Following is a report on the condition of some of the wounded from the Gaza War.
2nd-Lt. Aaron Yehoshua ben Chaya Shoshana continues to astound physicians Baruch Hashem, and before Shabbos, he was able to ambulate with the assistance of a walker. If you remember, he sustained a serious head injury in the war and his prognosis was grim at best. Aaron made international news when his story broke, that he left his wife the morning after their wedding to return to his troops.
Dvir ben Leah 21, a Golani Brigade soldier, was critically wounded in the fighting. His father, Tzviki, reported on erev Shabbos that the family continues tefillos and remain hopeful as he shows very slight signs of improvement. Dvir’s family is calling on Am Yisrael to join in reciting tefillos and tehillim for their son on Tuesday, 9 Shvat (3 Feb) beginning after Mincha, at 5:20PM (Shkia). Tehillim prakim 13, 25, 30, 103, 112, and 142 will be recited.
Li’el Hoshea ben Miriam also sustained a serious head injury. In my last reported, I explained that following a day-long surgery, he opened his eyes and said a few words. I spoke with his father, Effie, on Sunday morning, and Li’el has since undergone three surgeries, with the latest yesterday, on Shabbos, lasting three hours. “It is really hard. I am trying to be strong but each surgery gives hope, but then there is another. His head is full of holes” states Effie in a tired voice. I asked how Chagit, Li’el’s young wife is doing. Effie told me he sent her with her parents to a hotel for Shabbos while he and his wife remained with Li’el.
Neriya ben Rivka was also seriously wounded and also in Soroka Medical Center, but in a different department that Li’el. He is reportedly speaking with his family.
