ETZ CHAIM BOOK CLUB
In memory of Susan and Larry Cable’s daughter Michelle, Michal Fraidel bas Eliezer and Shulamis, the Cables are generously providing copies of our next book read: Angels in Orange: Uplifting Stories of Courage, Faith, and Miracles from the United Hatzalah Heroes of October 7th by Rabbi Nachman Seltzer. We will be meeting via Zoom on Monday, November 3 at 7 p.m.
Please contact Merilee Maeir to arrange getting a copy at melmaeir@gmail.com
Inside are incredible stories of emunah, hashgacha, miracles, and courage as more than 1,700 United Hatzalah volunteers rescued and treated the wounded on Simchat Torah, October 7, 2023.
We’ll read about the maggid shiur on his “ambucycle” who braved a sniper’s bullets to try and save wounded policemen…The volunteer who took cover behind a tank while terrorists dressed as IDF soldiers shot him…The team who took care of twin babies who’d survived, though their parents had not. Rabbi Seltzer has written their stories of courage and survival with a great sensitivity for readers’ feelings.
Ya’asher Koach
Chuni and Leah Rappaport’s son, Eliezer ben Leah Hinda, has been called up as a paratrooper to enter Gaza. He’s with his unit. Our prayers are for him, his unit, and all of Am Yisrael to come back safely.
We also recognize Captain Shaya Weidmann serving in the Israeli Army and his brother, David Weidmann, in the Israeli Air Force. Rabbi Cheses’ younger brother, Doron, is stationed in the north. May these 4 young men have hatzlacha, safety, and courage. The Israel Defense Forces is very fortunate to have these soldiers sincere dedication and our hearts.
