Shegmalani kol tuv: the avrech Menachem (Mendy) Rivkin who was severely injured in a stabbing attack in Givat Ze'ev last week - was released to his home tonight.
The stabbing attack in which Rivkin was injured, took place last Wednesday near gas station at the entrance to Givat Ze'ev.
A 17 year old terrorist from Bir Naballah followed Rivkin who was walking with his wife near the shops, attacked him and stabbed him several times in the upper body. As a result Rivkin was seriously injured and was in unstable condition, and evacuated to the Shaare Zedek Hospital in Jerusalem.
Despite severe injuries, Rivkin was able to recover within a week, and tonight, as stated, he was discharged.
Earlier this week, a press conference was held in Rivkin's room at Shaare Zedek Hospital, where the injured strongly criticized the government policy. Rivkin said that, "we must not give in to them. We need to beat terrorism. We must not think of giving up or giving parts in any way. Let's beat this terrorism.
Rivkin further plans to hold a thanksgiving for the miracle that happened to him.
Meanwhile, this week it was published in the Lubavitch community, that Rivkin's friends sent a query letter to the Rebbe's Igros Kodesh about the chances of recovery of the injured, and there were an answer that G-d willing there will be a big thanksgiving party, which led to much optimism among his associates. Tonight, as mentioned, the promise was fulfilled, and Rivkin returned home safe and sound.
