Three-Year-Old Yael Rivka Bezalel Dies After Choking on Grape in Jerusalem
Yael Rivka Bezalel, a three-year-old girl from the Ramot neighborhood in Jerusalem, passed away at Shaare Zedek Medical Center after being hospitalized for two weeks in a coma and on a ventilator due to choking on a grape. The tragic incident occurred at her home, leading to her admission to the hospital where she remained in critical condition until her death on Wednesday morning. Yael was the daughter of Yitzhak and Chana Bezalel.
The family is mourning the loss amid preparations for the wedding of Yael's older sister, which was scheduled for just one week later. The funeral is set to take place today at 4:00 PM, departing from the Shamgar Funeral Home in Jerusalem, with burial at the Yemenite section of Har HaMenuchot cemetery.
