Bochur Injured on Simchas Torah Released on Rosh Chodesh Kislev

As Rosh Chodesh Kislev begins, incredible news has been shared that Bochur Shneur Zalman Neiman, who was critically injured on Simchas Torah at 770, has been released from the hospital and returned to 770.

He is now on his way to daven at at the Ohel, thanking Hashem for the incredible miracles and his miraculous refuah. He is expected to return home to Eretz Yisroel soon.

This comes following a series of encouraging developments in Shneur Zalman’s recovery. In recent weeks, he has been breathing and eating on his own and has even begun walking. Several weeks earlier, it was reported that Shneur Zalman had regained consciousness and opened his eyes for the first time since the accident, after spending a week sedated.

Shneur Zalman, 17, was visiting the Rebbe for Tishrei when he was critically injured in a fall during the Simchas Torah celebrations at 770. He was immediately sedated and placed on a ventilator in the hospital.

His parents dropped everything and flew from Eretz Yisroel to be at his side. Meanwhile, the Anash community rallied around the family, helping ease the enormous financial burden of medical and related expenses while continuing to daven for his recovery.

The timing of Shneur Zalman’s release from the hospital has not gone unnoticed. Rosh Chodesh Kislev is an auspicious day, marked each year as the day the Rebbe returned home after recovering from the heart attack which occured as well in middle of the simcha of Shemini Atzeres and Simchas Torah.

The family wishes to thank the entire community for the support, tefillos, and material assistance throughout this difficult period. “There are no words to thank everyone,” they said.
