Typical Hospital Photos

The new season of Israeli Extreme Makeover has begun.  

Tonight we are watching the renovation of the apartment of Assael and Avital Lubotzky.  Assael was injured in Lebanon, and the expectation was that he would never walk.  Assael decided otherwise, and with much effort and Siyata Dishmaya, he walks with crutches, and is now finishing his studies in med school in order to help others.

At the beginning of the program, after screening photos of Assael in hospital unconscious and close-ups of his destroyed leg


, we saw photos of his recovery -

Assael in physiotherapy, Assael trying to walk, and, of course, Assael wearing tefillin in his hospital bed.

Just a typical photo of  a typical recovering Israeli soldier.

For those who are interested, Assael wrote a book about his recovery - מן המדבר והלבנון - to inspire other soldiers who are recovering from injuries, and, of course, their families.
