The attached photo was taken on Thursday morning at the Chabad of Parkland.
Seen in the image is a student that was called to the Torah and “Bentched Gomel”, thanking Hashem for sparing his life in the Wednesday massacre at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland Florida, which left 17 people dead.

is there a gomel recited if you werent actually ace to face with the shooter? any halacha experts that can weigh i on the matter?
Wouldn’t it be nice if some of these parents would realize that public school is not a place for their children with all the violence, and sent their kids to a Yeshiva??
@ahavas. Always one idiot who has to comment. With a name like ahavas yisrael, you probably have zero.
Ahavas,
The school is allegedly about 40% jewish. Maybe something good will come out of this disaster after all. You won’t know because I’m sure HKB’H doesn’t run his plans past you.
Greenhatter I’m truly grateful for your comment.
And what a dopey on a public site. Way to do kiruv
Today was exactly 1 decade since the Yeshiva Mercaz haRav massacre, so Yeshivas no more immune than public schools from such evil. Also think back to attack @ewish school in Marseilles.
Amazing.
@ahavas_yisroel: Can these parents also send you the bills?
@NYreader. I’m not trying to do kiruv, I will not accept inappropriate comments towards other Jews, it’s disgusting that you are giving him a pass.
