Cedarhurst resident has returned with his entire family to Chevron to recite a special bracha recalling the miracles that he experienced during the sniper attack.

Steven Borochov and his sons Eli and Yosef were among several hundred people who traveled to Chevron in November 2015 to spend the Shabbos of Parshas Chayei Sara at Yeshiva Shavei Hevron. 

As the Borochovs walked up the steps to Mearas Hamachpela just before the onset of Shabbos, 19 year old Eli was struck in the leg by a bullet fired by an Arab sniper.

Eli  Borochov was taken by ambulance to Jerusalem where doctors were able to remove the bullet from his thigh. 

The family returned to Mearas Hamachpela this past weekend with a group of friends from the Five Towns, where Eli Borochov said the bracha expressing his gratitude for the miracle he experienced one year earlier.
