Man Disappearred in Lake

Please Join In for his rescue

On Monday a Chareidi father in his 30′s from Los Angeles took his children boating in a small lake.

the 3 years old fell overboard and the father jumped in to rescue her.

The girl was saved but the father was dragged away by a current.

There are search teams on land and in the water but they cannot find him.

the מקובל הרב אדרת advised that the WHOLE WORLD should say

עלינו לשבח עד ועל כן נקוה

seven times forward and then seven times backwards.

He hopes that in this זכות there will be a ישועה בקרוב.

Please participate!

I dont think it is so terrible for someone to ask what his name is and how many children he has but since #13 does I wont write the details I will just say that I live in Isreal and in todays weekly Hamodia on the first page it gives all the details you would like to know

#12, why does it matter what his last name is or how many and how old the children are? Don’t you think the family deserves some measure of privacy at this terrible time?? All we really need is his name so that we can keep him in our tefillos, which is why the poster above clarified that he is Naftali ben Anna, not ben Chana as someone previously suggested.

We know his name is Naftali ben Anna but what is his last name? How many children do they have – what ages? Are there any leads yet as to his whereabouts? We fervently pray that they find him alive very soon. Ha-Shem Yishmirayhu V’Chayaihu.

What a tragedy. We hope to hear good news soon. It says the child was wearing a life jacket, was the father? Unfortunately it doesn’t sound like it if he went under so quickly. Unless the current was so strong that even the life jacket didn’t help. Anyway we are davening for him and hope the story has a happy ending.
