Chicago Hatzalah Member Returns Home to Warm Welcome

R’ Refoel Yisroel Saacks, a Hatzalah Dispatcher from Chicago, was released from the hospital yesterday after making a dramatic recovery from Covid-19 after he was on a ventilator for three weeks.

While Yisroel battled the virus, the Lubavitch community of Chicago united to say hundreds of chapters of Tehillim for his recovery, and on Erev Pesach the name Refoel was added to his name.

On Monday afternoon, he was released from the hospital and was welcomed by family, friends and community upon his return home.
