Update on Rescuer Menashe Kalifa

Baruch Hashem, rescuer Menashe [ben Shulamit] Kalifa, 41, is breathing unassisted, doctors in Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital report, but they add his condition is still quite serious and he is in need of Am Yisrael’s tefillos. Kalifa remains in an intensive care unit but has been taken off mechanical respiratory assistance.

Kalifa jumped into the Ramat Eshkol manhole last week in an effort to save 3-year-old Rachel Sofer A”H.

The physician who pronounced Kalifa dead, Dr. Rach, who also prevented advanced life support resuscitation on Rachel, has been to appear before MDA Director-General Bin today, Monday, with Bin promising a thorough investigation into the matter in light of mounting public criticism of the physician’s handling of the case.

Please daven for Niesa Hensa bas Sara Esther.

A good friend of mine from yeshiva (now in LA) had a baby a few days ago. Unfortunately, here is a summary I just got from another friend of what happened today (I changed names to father and mother):

A few days after giving birth to the baby, the mother slipped into a coma this morning. It turned out she had a stroke that stemmed from a blood clot during labor. She will hopefully survive - because they were not too sure this morning. She has suffered some permanent brain damage (RL). She will have surgery tomorrow on her brain and the extent of what her functions will be going forward will not be known for weeks. It could be anything from a limp to never being able to speak again. No way to know. Please daven for her. The husband is an absolute mess (RL) - he collapsed today at the hospital and they had to admit him. he is better now but like a walking zombie. its horrible.
PLEASE daven for her.

A Peruvian rescue team has located the body of Galit Sasson, aged 23, of Nes Tziona, who fell to her death on Sunday during a trip to the ancient Inca city of Cusco in Peru.

URGENT! TEHILLIM 4 Peru: Woman Falls Off Cliff

Officials are fearing for the life of a 23-year-old Israeli tourist, who is missing after losing her balance and falling down a 200 meter cliff into a gorge near the ancient Incan city of Cusco, Peru.

By Ynet

Peru - Officials are fearing for the life of a 23-year-old Israeli tourist, who is missing after losing her balance and falling down a 200 meter cliff into a gorge near the ancient Incan city of Cusco, southeast of the Peruvian capital of Lima during the predawn hours of Sunday morning local time.

The woman's friend informed local authorities of the incident, and rescue teams were dispatched to the scene. The missing woman's condition remains unclear.

Peruvian rescue teams are searching for her.

The Israeli Foreign Ministry said the deputy ambassador to Lima, Gali Dagan, was also making his way to the scene, while Ministry officials in Israel are in contact with the young woman's family.

Rabbi Ofer Kripor, Chabad's emissary to Cusco, said the group the missing woman travelled with was making its way from Machu Picchu to the capital Lima by bus. When the bus stopped for a short break, the woman got off and then apparently fell from a cliff dozens of meters high, he said.

Cusco often serves as a base for trekkers in South America. About a year ago 22-year-old Rishon Lezion resident Tomer Ahuan was killed when he apparently fell off his boat during a rafting expedition in the Apurimac River in Peru.

In another fatal accident, 23-year-old Yuval Noam of Jerusalem was killed in Turkey's Antalya region after he slipped and fell from a 40-meter (about 130 feet) cliff.
