Shmuel Weiss, a six-year-old boy in Bnei Brak, who disappeared from his home on Rechov Kedushas Yom Tov in Shichun Satmar around 11 p.m. Tuesday night was found on Wednesday morning about 9 a.m. under a bed in his home after search teams scoured city streets for hours overnight Tuesday and early Wednesday morning.

Hundreds of volunteers from Shomrim, Ichud Hatzlah, Hatzalah Gush Dan and ZAKA, assisted by many volunteer civilians carried out extensive searches and Shomrim drove throughout Bnei Brak in a car with loudspeakers from 6 a.m. requesting the public to assist in the search, broadcast both in Hebrew and Yiddish.

A command center was set up on Rechov Chazon Ish as well as on Rechov Yismach Moshe in Shichun Satmar.

Weiss was ultimately found in his own home sound asleep under a bed although the police had searched everywhere in his home at the beginning of the search, including under the beds.

Later, a video was posted explaining how the child wasn’t found at the very beginning. He was sound asleep under a bed, which also had “pull-out” beds underneath. When the parents and police searched for him, they lifted up the “pull-out” beds and looked underneath it and saw an empty floor. Meanwhile, the child was sleeping on the floor all the way next to the wall but the “pull-out” bed blocked that area of the floor from sight.

In the morning, a relative came to the house to assist the frantic family and began straightening up, including pushing the “pull-outs” underneath the main bed. Suddenly she heard a scream which turned out to be little Shmuel yelping in pain from being pushed into the wall with the “pull-outs.”

Below, the father, child and happy neighbors rejoice over the happy ending to the harrowing experience:
