Article: In Israel, two yeshiva boys had the tradition of going to the local hospital every Shabbat morning to distirbute candies and wish everyone a "Refuah Shlemah"--a speedy recovery, as well as a "Shabbat Shalom"--a Good Sabbath. This past Shabbat, they were in the emergency room when they discovered one of their fellow yeshiva students there. They visited him and sang him songs for Shabbat. Then, they pulled aside the curtain and found he was sharing a room with a woman, around 60 years old. She was hooked up to many wires and she appeared to be sleeping. Her family had been told she was about to die and nothing could save her. They put a bag of sweets next to her bed and said, "Shabbat Shalom." The following Monday, the woman opened her eyes and said to her son that she now had the strength to live, thanks to those boys' songs and sweets. They had saved her life.
