Mi ke’amcha yisroel! I’m amazed how many people came together to search, the praying around the world and the hachlotos! I’m so happy the girls ate safe and that the hotel owner had a bar mitzvah!

My Tehillim
April 10, 2016 2:45 pm

About a half hour after my Tehillim, they were found.
I don’t know these girls, but I just keep thinking about it. It must’ve been so scary! No food, no water! Oy oy oy!!! Baruch Hashem I say! Baruch Hashem. Hashem does all and He has done it again. I’ll say it again, Baruch Hashem!

Both girls’ fathers confirmed to me that the girls have been found deep in the swampy woods and the rescue teams are going in to pick them up on foot. A helicopter spotted them and dropped them water bottles. One father said they have communicated with them.

Thank G-d, it has just been confirmed that the two NMB girls, Brocha Katz and Rivka Moshe, were found in good health. They walked in the woods behind their hotel and got off the path and got lost. Infrared was spotted by a helicopter and rescuers when to the area and brought them back to safety.

No active amber alert response
April 10, 2016 10:09 am

I am unaware of the time it takes for an Amber Alert to be issued. However the article states an Amber Alert was issued. I receive cell phone notification when there’s an Amber Alert. I didn’t receive one for this case. There is also no active alert on the official government website. Why is it reported in this article that an alert was issued?

everone
April 10, 2016 10:04 am

listen give tzedakah to meir baal hanes say tehilim and take upon a hard hachlata and in that merit they will be found iyh

Amber alert clarification
April 10, 2016 9:54 am

Amber alert system is reserved for a CONFIRMED abduction when the child is believed to be in physical danger. This no Amber alert here, Baruch hashem.

faven
April 10, 2016 9:52 am

Check all cameras in the area not only the resort ! Ask all ppl in the area if they’ve seen them check homes all around ! Tap into phone convos ask all their friends if they had any other motive ! And most of all… PRAY TZEDAKA and HACHLOTO

Bracha!
April 10, 2016 9:47 am

She was in my bunk and I love her and if she doesn’t come home now I’m literally going to go insane !

Every room should be checked
April 10, 2016 9:46 am

Every room should be checked in the area like someone posted above.

It can beour daughter gd forbid
April 10, 2016 9:35 am

Please be sensitive with your comments . Time to pray ygive tzedaka light a candle and make a mitzvah !!

#86
April 10, 2016 9:34 am

You don’t need a warrant if the owner of the camera volunteers to turn over the recording. Which I understtod they did. And it’s not true that Amber alerts only go out after 24 hours for children. But I’m in Florida and I did not get an amber alert yet. Why not?

To 82 Amber Alert
April 10, 2016 9:32 am

As far as I understand an Amber Alert is issued after 24 hours missing…

Blessings to them
April 10, 2016 9:31 am

May we hear good news and may they be found now.

Are they checking the hotels?
April 10, 2016 9:27 am

Are they checking the hotels ?
is it possible that they were abducted and they are in one of the buildings?

Yeah I also noticed a lot of mistakes. Rivkah name was spelled wrong twice and it had the wrong date it says they went missing today instead of yesterday

Praying
April 10, 2016 9:01 am

For safe immediate return of our girls and relief of pain n worry of families! Only good news!!!!

Please keep this post on the top of col

Davening for the girls! Will be going to the ohel today and will have them in mind. Hopefully they will be found safe and sound before I go!

Imyh they will be ok not a single brooz and in perfect shape when they are found

No active amber alert
April 10, 2016 8:25 am

Praying for the families, however there is no active Amber Alert for these girls. Have they been found?

7have they brought dogs?
April 10, 2016 8:24 am

Have they used dogs to try to find them?

No foul play?
April 10, 2016 8:21 am

How can they say no foul play involved? There is something very wrong here. They would have been back if there was no foul play.
To #67 shouldn’t that have been the first thing they should have done? Looking at security cameras seems to be the obvious thing to do.

To 65
April 10, 2016 8:18 am

When people say we need moshiach or the like in such a situation, they are saying that they can’t bear seeing such tsures, and wish moshiach would be here when all tsures would end. Why did that offend you so?

bzchus the Rebbe Rashab
April 10, 2016 8:13 am

It is a special day today. The Hillula of the Rebbe Rashab. Say Tehilim make an hachlata, do something extra for them. Iyh in no time, col wil report the great news, that they are found healthy and we’ll. Amen.

Brocha, please come home!
April 10, 2016 7:46 am

I’ve known Brocha since she was a little kid. Her older sister was my best friend. Please daven for her safe return!

Still missing... Keep us updated
April 10, 2016 7:44 am

If they would have been found by a non Jew they would have called…

Possible that they ran away?
April 10, 2016 7:41 am

Has this notion been considered?

Another Mother
April 10, 2016 7:38 am

Continue your prayers and tehillim non-stop.
My son was saved from a terrible car accident with a head injury because, I am certain, people davened and said tehillim all over the world. We have the power to create a happy ending.

Information needs to correlate
April 10, 2016 7:37 am

The Missing Person and Shmira posters do not match–the name of one girl says “Rival” (instead of “Rivka”), the February birth dates are different, and the clothing descriptions are also different. On the Shmira poster it sounds like both girls are wearing the same outfit. I want the mediator to pass this along in case it could be significant for the search. Besuros Tovos!!

Scared
April 10, 2016 7:34 am

Were they found?

'Concerned they haven't called anyone' (referenced in article)
April 10, 2016 7:33 am

Well yeah they Left on shabbos they obviously don’t have a phone!!!!!!

Why?
April 10, 2016 7:22 am

Why is this not being reported in non jewish sources? I googled it and found nothing. It sounds like these kids got lost and then someone found them. I just hope they are ok- praying!!!!

Only Tehillem/halacha and Demands from Hashem??
April 10, 2016 7:03 am

Not one spoke about taking upon themselves to be extra TZANUA! IF you all commit yourselves to cover properly like most of us don’t then we will see their immediate return.

Why?
April 10, 2016 6:49 am

Why is this not being reported in non jewish sources? I googled it and found nothing. It sounds like these kids got lost and then someone found them. I just hope they are ok- praying!!!!

Investigation
April 10, 2016 6:41 am

We went to a forest near by the area and to an abandon construction searching for them, it is amazing how many people is searching through the area, I just got back home 6am and over there still people there searching for them, hotel security have to go and search through the CCTV security cameras videos records and with that information we will be able to know if the investigation should continue inside of the hotel rooms or in the nearby areas

Please continue say Tehilim

argue
April 10, 2016 2:08 am

to those who write “now is not the time to argue” – is there really a time to argue? is it not always a time to try and discuss things with differing perspectives with respectful tolerance of others’ viewpoints? Isn’t it always the time to offer perspectives only in a constructive, respectful way?

May the girls find their way back home safely.

Yes, but they were taking a walk alone, on Shabbos, without any way to contact anyone.
Just because they’re sixteen does not mean that nothing can happen to them.

April 9, 2016 11:04 pm

As a Bubby, I disagree with all this shabbatons and sending girls away. It’s a sakana and modern. They should come home safe very soon with the Rebbe’s Brochos and protection.
