Updates on wounded soldiers

The list of prayers has been updated, with positive reports on several of the more seriously injured soldiers.

Dvir ben Leah's condition continues to be critical.
He has not woken up since he was wounded by a mortar
shell at the beginning of Operation Cast Lead.

Special prayers for his recovery are scheduled for TUESDAY
FEB 3 (10:20 AM NY Time/5:20 PM Israel Time)

Dvir’s family is calling on Am Yisrael to join in reciting tefillot (prayers)
and tehillim (Psalms) for their son.

Psalms to be recited: 13, 25, 30, 103, 112, 142

For Psalms in Hebrew and English, please visit:

May he and all the sick and injured have a refuah shelaima--a complete and speedy recovery.

In a personal column in the health section of Ynet, clinical psychologist Yair Tzivoni describes his experience in the hospital after his wife gave birth. While she went with a friend to the maternity ward, he brought the new baby to the nursery to await washing, blood tests and immunizations. His own daughter slept, but others screamed. The babies were supervised by one nurse, busy with her routine tasks. She completely ignored the crying babies.
