Yinon Magal, host of the Channel 14 program 'The Patriots,' shared a moving encounter that took place in his synagogue on the holiday of Simchat Torah. Magal described a rare meeting between survivors of two dramatic historical events: a terror incident involving a flight from Dubai and the Entebbe raid.
A couple who survived the dramatic flight from Dubai arrived at the synagogue to recite the "Gomel" prayer, a Jewish prayer of thanksgiving for those who have survived danger. Magal recounted the moment as particularly emotional, noting that the husband, who is secular, donned a prayer shawl and recited the prayer, appearing deeply moved by the experience.
Also praying at the same synagogue is a veteran who is a survivor of the historic Entebbe raid. Magal reported that a fascinating conversation developed between the woman who survived the Dubai flight and the Entebbe survivor. "They compared experiences," Magal said, adding that they even wondered, "Who had it harder?"
Magal concluded by remarking that the moment would have been "interesting to film" if it hadn't been Shabbat.
