Chief Rabbi and Dozens of Rabbis Recite Psalms of Thanksgiving After Flydubai Jet Miracle

Israel's Chief Rabbi, Kalman Bar, along with dozens of other rabbis, gathered to recite "Mizmor L'Toda" (A Psalm of Thanksgiving) following a miraculous rescue aboard a Flydubai airplane. Speaking at a gathering in the sukkah of Tel Aviv's Chief Rabbi, Zevadia Cohen, Rabbi Bar emphasized the need to thank God for the "great miracle" that saved the passengers.

"One must be blind not to see the miracles," Rabbi Bar stated, highlighting the coincidental presence of a doctor and another individual on the flight who were instrumental in the rescue. He connected the event to the Sukkot holiday, interpreting the rescue as a divine demonstration of God's love and protection, particularly the verse "His left hand is under my head, and his right hand embraces me."

Rabbi Tuvia Bleicher, head of the Harish Yeshiva, also expressed his excitement, noting that the miracle occurring during Sukkot, a festival of joy, amplified the sense of gratitude. He described the rescue as "miracles of miracles and wonders of wonders," exceeding natural comprehension and demonstrating God's profound care for the Jewish people.

Both rabbis urged the public to internalize the joy and gratitude from this event and carry it throughout the year, feeling God's love and providence. The gathering concluded with the recitation of the Psalm of Thanksgiving, expressing gratitude for God's kindness and wonders.
