Jewish Press:
Wounded soldiers receive new tefillin from CTVP to replace his set that was destroyed in clashes with Hamas.
“This is the most important gift for my son."
Wounded IDF soldiers whose tefillin were destroyed in clashes with Hamas received a pleasant surprise in the hospital on Wednesday with a brand new set presented by Chabad's Terror Victims Project, the Kikar Shabbat website reported.
Several troops told visitors in the hospital that they were without their tefillin, and the Lubavitch House in Paris responded quickly to help fulfill a request to replace them.
Members of CTVP visited the soldiers the same day with a visit and a gift of new tefillin.
One woman from Pisgat Ze’ev, in northern Jerusalem, said that her son, who suffered injuries that required the amputation of one leg, learned in Chabad while in Morocco.
“This is the most important gift for my son,” she said.
