The mispallalim and families of the Kehillas Bnei Torah Shul in the Har Nof neighborhood of Har Nof will be celebrating a simcha, the bar mitzvah of Mordechai Goldstein, who was at his father�s side in the shul on the morning of the fatal attack a number of months ago

The event will take place in the shul where four mispallalim and a policeman HY�D were murdered in the terror attack. The entire shul is invited to the bar mitzvah by personal invitation from the father, Shmuel Goldstein, whose life was saved by a miracle. �Your participation in the simcha and acknowledgement of the miracle will be most appreciated� he writes. The aliyah will be this Shabbos, parshas Nasso. A kiddush will follow for the entire neighborhood. The seudas mitzvah will be held next week.

A family member is quoted by Kikar Shabbos news explaining �It marks closure for us, the celebration of the miracle that occurred that HKBH saved Mordechai and his father Shmuel. There were more than a few miracles here, that Mordechai escaped arm and that his father Shmuel was saved and now, we are celebrating the bar mitzvah and a father who was seriously wounded can celebrate alongside his son�.

Shmuel was hanging between life and death and his recovery is viewed as a medical miracle by some of the doctors.
