Hat tip to my connections in Beit Shemesh. Two of the victims of yesterday's bombing in Jerusalem are residents of Beit Shemesh. (A third is a student at the Tzofia seminary in RBS-A.) It pains me as I write this because most of the victims are like my own children, young and in their teens, who have a long life ahead of them. Please daven for them and also contribute towards their family's financial situation, if you can. With teshuva, tefillah and tzedakah, we can overcome negative decrees from Heaven. Note that several of these names are children of either Shulamit or Shlomit. I think Hashem is hinting to us the lack of shalom in our nation. We must all fight for Ahavas Yisrael now!

Natan Daniel ben Shulamit is 17 years old. He is a resident of Rehov Ribal (where the post office is) in RBS-Bet. He is the oldest of five children in his family and was on his way to yeshiva in Migdal HaEmek yesterday when he was seriously injured in the bombing in Jerusalem. He suffered massive internal injuries and has had a number of internal organs removed.
He suffered serious internal injuries and is currently in the ICU at Hadassah Ein Kerem.
His father is an avrech who was supposed to start a new job yesterday, but ended up going to the hospital instead to be with his son.
The family is in need of help with the costs of transportation to and from the hospital, food costs and babysitting for their four younger children.
&&&&&&
Sasson ben Shulamit lives in Sheinfeld. He was also injured in another terrorist bombing a few years ago, and he and his family are suffering serious financial hardship due to his inability to work. Now he is in the hospital and there is almost no income. His wife is a kindergarten assistant, and is pregnant with her fifth child, and is now suffering from fear and panic. He suffered lower body injuries and serious post-traumatic symptoms. This family is in serious need of immediate financial help.
