"Now there is a different meaning when I bless 'Who has not made me a non-Jew'."

It is important to note that despite the reported improvement, the family urges the public to continue praying for the complete recovery of Gavriel ben Ines, among all the sick of Israel.

In what way is Gavriel's condition improving? They continued to ask the wife of the injured, "In that he is beginning to respond. When they lower the dosage of the sedative medications, he starts to move. The knife penetrated his spinal column, and it is truly a miracle that he is now moving his hands and feet." From the doctors' perspective, is he still considered in life-threatening danger? "Yes. As long as he is being treated in the intensive care unit - he is in danger."

The interview with Lavi's wife was conducted after on Motza'ei Shabbat it was reported from Shaarei Zedek Hospital in Jerusalem that there had been an improvement in the condition of the yeshiva student Gavriel Lavi shlit"a. It was also reported then from the hospital that Lavi is still hospitalized in the intensive care unit while sedated and on a respirator.

In the interview, Nili added and said that she "thanks all of Israel for the prayers and the support. We will continue to go through Sha'ar Shechem. We will not let them restrict us." We had a great miracle, the terrorist stabbed him many times in the upper body, face, and head, and also in the spinal column."

"My husband, Gavriel, lost a lot of blood and received 6 units of blood, he underwent abdominal surgery. His condition is serious, but the doctors are optimistic. We are both baalei teshuvah. He studied at the 'Shuvu Banim' yeshiva in the Muslim Quarter. He is a tzaddik, modest, and a man of kindness. My husband returned from the Chatzot Kollel and I believe that thanks to his Torah study we will merit to hold a thanksgiving party for him."

It should be noted that Gavriel Lavi was stabbed 17 times in all parts of his body and was truly in a critical condition on the brink of death. The day after our teacher, the esteemed Rav Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a blessed him, the hospital already announced that his condition had begun to improve.
