Rabbi Yitzchak David Grossman placed an ancient coin on the head of a mortally wounded officer. A few hours later, he opened his eyes: “The Rabbi placed the coin, and I felt ‘boom.’” Now, they are working to save his leg

Evyatar Zitouni (26), company commander and commander of squad commanders in the 450^th battalion of the Paratroopers, was mortally wounded in combat in Kisufim on the Black Saturday of October 7^th.  After his team lost many of its combat soldiers, it killed many terrorists.  Zitouni was evacuated to Soroka Hospital, anesthetized and intubated.

His parents spoke about an extraordinary visit by Rabbi Yitzchak David Grossman:  The Rabbi stood by his bed,  prayed, sang the hymn A Song of Ascent and placed an ancient coin on Evyatar’s head, a coin he always carried.  He promised that Evyatar would stand on his feet.  A few hours after the visit, Evyatar opened his eyes.
