Last summer Aliza Schwab (Ruchama Aliza Sarah Chana bas Esther Leiba) R”L drowned in a swimming pool in North Miami Beach, Florida (reported HERE on YWN). She was rushed to the hospital in critical condition, and was placed on life support. A month after the drowning, her doctors wanted to detach her from life support. Their reason was that according to Florida law she was considered “dead”. The family vehemently opposed it, and Boruch Hashem won.
Approximately two months later, she was released from the hospital and sent home where she has been receiving intensive treatment, physical therapy and is fed through a pipe.
Last Sunday some 400 members and family members joined in a dedication of a new Sefer Torah in her merit. The Sefer Torah was placed in Chabad Beis Menachem in North Miami Beach where the family has been praying for many years.
The Sefer Torah was donated by Yosi Davidson and the Schwab family. Tears of joy were wept during the ceremony.
Following the conclusion of writing the letters in the Schwab home, the crowd proceeded in a parade towards the Chabad shul headed by the shliach Rabbi Yosi Marlow.
Performing at the Seudas Mitzvah were Mordechai Ben David and his son Yiddele Werdeger.

What a zchus! She should have a refua shlaima!
Knowing a thing or two about this inyan, I do believe she is being fed thru a TUBE and not a PIPE.
Does anyone know if she is getting better? She should have a refuah shelaima bkorov.
I had just been thinking about Ruchama Aliza. The idea to dedicate a sefer torah in her zechus is beautiful-may it be the zechus she needs for a refuah shelaymah.
REFUAH SHELAYMAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
