I know the family personally - the father was killed, r"l, and four children were injured in an accident in Israel this morning. He had just taken the mother and another daughter(s?) to the airport to fly to Switzerland and I don't know if she is yet on her way back.

Esther bas Freda (aged 15, in critical condition, but BH there has been some improvement this morning)
Rahel bas Frieda (aged 7 - seriously injured)
Rivka Gendel bas Frieda (aged 4 - seriously injured)
Shimon ben Frieda (baby - moderately injured)

Heartrending tragedy, I can't function today, thinking of what this family is going through. Please keep us posted on their recovery. Hashem should answer all our tefillos.

OP here. I just can't imagine what they are going through. The mother and 2 dds landed in Switzerland and then the same plane which flew back to Israel took them back. She has lost her husband, has four injured children in hospital, three severely. And physically healthy children at home who must need her emotionally. They have at least 10 children (I think 12).

I will keep you updated, bli neder.

OP here, just don't read the English version, because they got almost every fact wrong. Like changing Rechovot to Netanya.

The older dd had 4 head surgeries yesterday, but there is some improvement. Shimon is 2, not a baby, and is seriously injured. It's one of the girls who was moderately injured. And the name is Rivka Gendel (can a mod correct that in the OP?)

I'm actually sitting in the pediatric intensive care unit with my own dc ought now. I simply cannot fathom the horror unfolding in another PICU right now. Four critically injured orphaned children, with a grieving, widowed, shell-shocked mother.

Hashem, please help them have the supernatural strength to get through their gehennom!!!

I can't think of a Nechama other than the geula sheleima now!

Shabbat Shalom and may we share besurot tovot.

(Honestly, my own tzarot are nothing in comparison. And we practically are in the hospital 50% of the time).

Changed the name in the OP. May they all have a refuah sheleima and a nechama on their loss Sad

(Does anyone know if there are other names to say tehillim for in the family -- I had read they were on the way to Switzerland for medical treatments, so I would like to daven for anyone else who could use it.)

I don't think they wanted this publicized, and I'm not sure if she (another dd) is still ill or if they were supposed to be on a vacation to recuperate.

from what I understood they were on the way to recuperate courtesy of ezer mitzion and Rav Furer. What an incredibly tragedy...

updates for end of last week - I didn't hear anything new since then:
Rivka is BH out of hospital and at home.
Raheli is in the regular children's unit.
Esther is still in the ICU with bad head and facial injuries. But BH she is conscious and spoke with people. She will need extensive plastic surgery.
Shimon is still in the ICU and has severe stomach injuries.

Refuah sheleima.

with a smile :)

Thanks so much. Should we still be davening for Rivka, or has she had a complete physical recovery?

B"H there is good news, real miracles. Thank you for all your tefillos.

I think Rivka and Rahel are okay now. And Esther and Shimon are home too! I will try and update, but I think you should continue davenning for Esther bas Freida and Shimon ben Freida. I know Esther will need plastic surgery and has not yet fully recovered from her head injuries, and I think Shimon still needs a refua sheleima too.

I am sure the tefillos of Klal Yisroel did nissim here, far above what any of the doctors expected. So please keep davenning.

My dd says they are both back at school/ cheder. Smile

It is really a nes.
I am still davenning for them both, because I understood they still need treatment (Esther will need plastic surgery). I will ask my dd if she can find out more if she has a friend who knows.

. So many tragedies in this family.

BH I think the other children (the ones in the crash) are fully (or near fully) recovered.
