Almost As Sad A Story As Christopher Reeve's

"Still Dancing in Her Dreams"

That's thee title of a New York Times article about Liu Yan, an unusually gifted Chinese dancer and choreographer, who was paralyzed from an accident last summer, reminded me of the story about Christopher Reeve as presented in an Israeli EFL textbook.


As I remember it, it began saying how in his sleep he dreams that he's healthy, the active athletic actor he had been before being paralyzed. Reeve's situation was much worse than Liu's. All he could control were his eyes and mouth.

Both Reeve and Liu were injured in accidents. In Israel there are many whose lives have been forced to change, not because of accidents, but because of Arab terrorists.

Recently, I received an update about Moshe Avitan, who was shot in the head by Arab terrorists a few months ago. Moshe and his wife Sarah were traveling from their home in Shvut Rachel to Kochav Hashachar, a short drive southeast.

Baruch Hashem, Thank G-d, Moshe is doing much better than the doctors had feared when he first received medical care. But, yes, that awful "but," he is now legally blind. He does have some vision, but he must learn an entirely new way of living and so do his wife and their daughters. G-d willing more of his vision will return.

Please pray for a refuah shleimah, a complete recovery, for Moshe Refael by Aliza Aisha.
Thank you
