Amb. Yechiel Leiter: ‘Until we defeat the ideology of killing, we are on life support’  Israel National News

Israel’s Ambassador to the United States Yechiel Leiter wrote an emotional message from the bedside of his critically wounded son, Neriyah, ahead of the Simchat Torah holiday, thanking those who have prayed for his recovery and reflecting on Jewish resilience. “As I sit here at my son Neriyah’s bedside, I am thinking about what the most appropriate message would be as we enter the Simchat Torah holiday. Neriyah is still on life support and my first thought is one of immense gratitude for the support and all the prayers on his behalf. Your prayers have given my family and me tremendous strength in the knowledge that prayers matter.
