After surviving the October 7th massacre, the Doron family of Kfar Aza came to recite Birkat Hagomel

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

After narrowly escaping the massacre by Hamas terrorists in Kfar Aza on October 7th, the Doron family arrived at the Western Wall to recite the ‘Birkat Hagomel’ (the blessing for those who have survived a dangerous situation).

A touching moment unfolded at the Western Wall amid the Iron Swords war when the Doron family from Kfar Aza came to the Western Wall Plaza to recite Birkat Hagomel after their lives were miraculously spared on the morning of Simchat Torah.
Dudi, the family patriarch who courageously fought against Hamas terrorists, shared with us that he waited to recite Birkat Hagomel until now, so that his family members, who were conscripted into the reserves and fought in the Gaza Strip, could leave the combat zone in Gaza and join him in blessing and thanking for the miracle.

‘Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the Universe, who bestows good things upon the unworthy and has bestowed upon me every goodness.'”
