Large crowds accompanied Abigail Yaakov, the 4-year-old, to her rest yesterday (Wednesday), who was killed in a serious traffic accident on Rabbi Yitzhak Nafcha Street in Beit Shemesh.<\/p>\n
During the funeral, one of the eulogists, Rabbi Toufik, chose to link the tragedy to the draft orders sent yesterday to yeshiva students.<\/p>\n
“So many tragedies, obviously we must strengthen our faith,” said the Rabbi during his eulogy. “We hear that today 54,000 draft orders are issued to yeshiva students. This is such a guilty act – who knows if this sacrifice didn’t come to atone a little.”<\/p>\n
The Rabbi further emphasized the importance of unity among the people of Israel: “Along with our strengthening, we need to know that we are messengers of compassion, love of Israel for one another, this ‘togetherness’ is supports us.”<\/p>\n
The accident occurred at 17:07 when the child was struck by a vehicle while riding a toy car. According to emergency responder testimonies, the child was found unconscious, without a pulse or breathing, suffering from a head injury and significant bleeding.<\/p>\n
MDA paramedics Shmuel Arieli and Tzvi Aryeh Zeibeld described: “It was a very severe traffic accident. We found her lying unconscious, without a pulse and not breathing, suffering from a head injury and significant bleeding.” Emergency teams began advanced resuscitation efforts on-site and evacuated her to the trauma room at Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital in critical condition.<\/p>\n
United Hatzalah volunteers added: “When we arrived at the scene, we saw a 4-year-old girl lying on the road without a pulse and not breathing, with multiple injuries after being hit by a vehicle while riding a toy car.” <\/p>\n
Despite extensive resuscitation efforts, doctors at the hospital were forced to pronounce the child’s death. It was one of four such deaths of children throughout Israel in that day. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Large crowds accompanied Abigail Yaakov, the 4-year-old, to her rest yesterday (Wednesday), who was killed in a serious…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":35250,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[29101,29102,99,50,29100],"class_list":{"0":"post-35249","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-news","8":"tag-beit-shemesh","9":"tag-draft-law","10":"tag-israel","11":"tag-news","12":"tag-traffic-safety"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114789250964221917","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35249","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=35249"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35249\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/35250"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=35249"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=35249"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=35249"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
