VIDEO: Dozens Gather at Kosel in Tefillah for Neria Dov Ben Chana, Who Remains in Critical Condition
Dozens gathered at the Kosel in Yerushalayim for a special tefillah on behalf of Neria Dov ben Chana, who was critically wounded in a vehicle-ramming attack near Beit Horon last month.
The gathering took place on the night of September 23, hours after Neria was rushed to Shaare Zedek Medical Center with severe injuries. Family and friends had called on the public to gather at the Kosel at 11:00 p.m. and join in tefillah for his recovery. Contemporary reports from the scene confirmed that dozens participated. כיפה
Neria underwent a complex emergency brain operation lasting several hours following the attack. Doctors subsequently reported that his condition had been stabilized, although his life remained in danger. 15 news
The need for tefillos continues. In an update issued ahead of Simchas Torah on October 2, Neria's father said that his son remained connected to respiratory support and appealed to the public to continue davening for his recovery. A broader appeal has also circulated asking members of the public to dedicate time each day to Tehillim and tefillah for Neria Dov ben Chana. Srugim
Ah Blick previously reported the attack and Neria's critical injuries. The footage of the subsequent Kosel gathering provides a separate communal development showing the public tefillah held on his behalf.
