The demonstration in Jerusalem and the trash bin (Photo: Haim Goldberg, Shabbat Square)
Mrs. Mirel Dzilovsky, who was injured as a result of the tin slide a few weeks ago. During the last Shabbat she was with her family at home – and at the end of the Shabbat she returned to the hospital where she was admitted in a minor condition. Today (Tuesday) as mentioned, she will be finally released from the hospital.
After three weeks of hospitalization and intensive treatment, Mirel will be released to her home today from the general surgery department at the Shaarei Zedek Medical Center in good condition and thanks the team that did the unbelievable and got her back on her feet
As I recall, Mirel Dzalovski, a mother of 11 children, left her house on Thursday evening to shop for Shabbat and passed near Yehezkel Street in Jerusalem where disturbances occurred.
During a demonstration, a burning can hit Dzalowski hard in the center of his chest. Following the blow, she collapsed on the sidewalk and was taken in a very serious condition to the trauma unit at Shaare Zedek Medical Center.
Mirel suffered from an extremely severe bilateral lung injury and needed urgent and life-saving interventional actions. After her condition stabilized, she was transferred to a long-term hospitalization in the intensive care unit headed by Prof. Philip Levine.
For two and a half weeks the doctors, nurses and all the staff fought for her life. Dzalowski, who needed prolonged ventilation until her lungs returned to function, underwent several more operations and complex treatments until her condition improved, and after three weeks of hospitalization and intensive treatment, Mirel is being released to her home today.

Dr. Alon Shortz, director of the trauma unit, congratulated Mirel upon her release and said: “Mirel’s desire to fight for an animal for her children, despite the severe injury, and her tremendous will power alongside the focused treatment put her on her two feet. I wish her good health in the future.”
Mirel and her family members said: “We are full of praise and thanks to the blessed God, for all his overt and hidden kindnesses that accompanied us in the last weeks since she was seriously injured by a gunshot until the happy day of her release from the hospital. We want to thank from the bottom of our hearts all of Klal Israel for the endless prayers that saved Miri and brought her back to us healthy and functioning. – Your prayers were our oxygen in difficult and fearful days.”
“This is the place to thank the MDA team and the team of doctors and nurses at Shaare Zedek in intensive care and the general surgery department for dedicated care 24 hours a day, and to all the medical professionals who accompanied us during this period, you were the good messengers for saving Miri’s life, may heaven bless you and fulfill all the wishes of your heart! We want to emphasize again, as believing Jews, we have no feelings of anger or guilt towards any Jew, and we pray that only peace and love of Israel will multiply among the people of Israel and that we will have complete redemption soon.” This is what the family members said.”
