Heroes of Jerusalem
(Jerusalem Post) Jon Medved - The blast at Cafe Hillel on Emek Refaim St. shook the windows of our house and left no doubt that we had been hit again - this time in our own neighborhood. Our son Momo, 16, was crossing Emek Refaim when he heard the blast. A trained volunteer with Magen David Adom, Momo took out the plastic gloves he keeps in his school backpack and began to run the block to the cafe to help with the injured; he was one of the first to arrive at the scene, which he described later as something straight out of Dante, or Eli Wiesel. Momo helped carry the injured on stretchers. Within 10 minutes it was over, and the amazing Israeli emergency medical teams had again acted with alacrity and professionalism. Momo's mother and brother found him covered with victims' blood and walked him home. My son and his friends are true heroes of Jerusalem.
