On Monday, 17 Cheshvan, in a simcha hall in northern Israel, Avraham Sheetrit, an employee, choked while eating a steak.

United Hatzalah Mordechai Mamon from the Asher Council branch was there and ran to his assistance, performing the Heimlich Maneuver over and over, until he succeeded in dislodging the obstruction and clearing Avraham’s airway – thereby saving his life.

This is how it looked, caught on the hall’s security camera. The drummer at the event , Avraham Sheetrit, was the victim of choking and B’chasdei Hashem, help was nearby.
