Gross Bros. Welcomed Back to School with New Song

The tragedy that occurred in the Givat Mordechai neighborhood of Yerushalayim on Wednesday 21 Shevat, 5774 had the country horrified. The Gross family became ill, apparently the result of having an exterminator work in their apartment a day earlier. As a result, two children R"L died in Shaare Zedek Hospital, sisters, Yaal and Avigail OBM, one  18-months-old and the second 4-years-old. Two other children Chaim Michael Shlomo  and Rafael Yitzhak Isaac, ages 5 and 7, remained hospitalized in a pediatric intensive care unit struggling for their lives. 

Two months later, after a miraculous recovery, the young Gross brothers returned to their school "Talmud Torah Achiezer" . There they were welcomed back by hundreds of fellow school children and together with their parents celebrated with singing and dancing, thanking Hashem.

Singer Shlomo Cohen and keyboard player Ami Cohen found it appropriate  to teach the children a new song "Rofa" and the children in a particular, immediately caught on and sang along.

כי קל מלך נאמן ורחמן אתה
ברוך אתה השם
רופא חולי עמו ישראל
