Hadassah Har HaTzofim Hospital on Motzei Shabbos published a video and photos of Baruch Bendit Glick, who was flown back to the US last week together with his father, who had been hospitalized in Shaarei Tzedek Hospital, on a special medical flight.
Baruch, a 20-year-old chasan, was shot in the neck and hand and was evacuated by Magen David Adom to Hadassah Har Hotzofim, where he was treated by a multidisciplinary team of trauma and emergency medicine specialists, intensive care specialists, plastic surgeons, neurosurgeons, orthopedists, anesthesiologists, operating room staff, the staff of the angiography, EEG and hand surgery departments, occupational and physical therapists, and social workers.
Baruch’s mother, Gitty, and his 18-year-old sister, who was lying on the floor of the bus during the attack and was Baruch Hashem saved from harm, didn’t leave his bedside during his entire stay at the hospital. Fortunately, Baruch’s uncle Mendy Glick flew to Israel the day after the attack and stayed by the bedside of Reb Yoshua Hersh Glick, Baruch’s father.
His mother Gitty said, upon his release: “The treatment here at Hadassah was above and beyond and I thank the entire medical team. The ambulance is taking us to the airport, where he will meet his father who was also injured, and both of them will be hospitalized together in a hospital in New York to continue the recovery process. We have a happy event to prepare for – Baruch’s wedding in less than two months – and I know that the treatment here at Hadassah was the basis for his complete healing b’ezras Hashem.”
Dr. Miklosh Bala, the head of the trauma unit at Hadassah Ein Kerem, summarized Baruch’s treatment: “Baruch’s neck injury involved a vascular injury along with bone, vertebrae and nerve injuries as well as a hand injury that could have caused long-term damage. One millimeter to the right or left of the neck, and the story would have ended completely differently. He was treated at Hadassah by a multifaceted team who successfully treated him with great devotion. He was released in stronger and stable condition for further treatment in his country.”
The public is asked to daven for the refuah sheleimah of:
Yoshua Tzvi ben Sora and his son, HaChassan Baruch Bendit ben Chana Gittel.
Liba Ahuva bas Rivka Breindel and her infant, Tinok ben Liba Ahuva.

Disgusting. Looking at her face she had ZERO interest in making this public clip, regardless if true or not. Using people to self-soothed and pride themselves.
Bh, that’s wonderful news ! However I’m disturbed and disappointed that you put up the pictures and personal medical details without the family’s permission. The whole world does not have to know all his private medical details. And the kallah’s family doesn’t need to see these pics and videos. I’m saddened that this is still happening.
Moderators Response: Only an ignoramus didn’t bother reading the first paragraph.
THE PHOTOS WERE RELEASED BY THE HOSPITAL. THE FAMILY POSED FOR THEM AND GAVE STATEMENTS.
Something is ominously missing:- wasn’t Boruch’s Bride flown in, to be at his bedside along with his Mum Gitty & his 18 year old sister?
147:
Why is that “ominous” and why is that “missing”?
Why should his bride be flown in? She is not yet married to him and, therefore, cannot be of much assistance? She also has to prepare for their upcoming wedding, please G-d.
Holy canoli. Who you calling an ignoramous???
Mrs Glick gave this statemtent to HADASSAH HOSPITAL. They were assured it was for internal use ONLY.
It was not meant to be splashed across the world.
Whatever. You do you. HaShem will hold you accountable.
