B’chasdei Hashem, there is a significant improvement being reported in the condition of Aaron Alexander ben Avraham from Kiev, who was beaten almost to death by anti-Semites in Kiev and airlifted to Ichilov Hospital in Tel Aviv, where he continues to convalesce.

Doctors report that Aaron is now responding to verbal stimulus by moving an extremity. The 25-year-old left a Kiev Chabad seder when thugs attacked him and brutally beat him over the head with a bottle.

Zaka in Kiev and Eretz Yisrael arranged for his transport on a private flight to Israel. Zaka officials add they are seeing to it that people continue visiting with Aaron, who is in an environment that is foreign to him.
