Israeli Groom Severely Injured in US Accident Flown to Hadassah Hospital for Treatment

Meir Pinchas ben Hadassah Esther, a student at the Orotaita Yeshiva in Jerusalem, was critically injured in a head-on car accident in Monroe, USA, where he had traveled to raise funds for his wedding. Instead of standing under the chuppah on Thursday evening as planned, his friends have been by his bedside at Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital in Jerusalem, where he was transferred after weeks in a Westchester hospital on life support. Following complex medical efforts and stabilization, Meir Pinchas was flown back to Israel on a special medical flight for continued treatment. Encouragingly, he has regained consciousness and his condition is improving, though doctors emphasize that his full recovery will be a long process requiring much divine mercy. His friends from the Orotaita Yeshiva, who were to celebrate his wedding with him, are supporting him with prayers and good wishes for a complete and speedy recovery. The public is called upon to continue praying for Meir Pinchas ben Hadassah Esther’s health and for all the sick in Israel.
