Part I: Orach Chayim
Chapter 15 - BLESSINGS ON OTHER OCCASIONS

I don't believe in looking back, and I rarely glance at that corner where I was run over by an Arab terrorist. But this week is the week of the date when 11 years ago I was run over. Yes, I've been thinking about it a lot. But yesterday, when I was dropped off just across from it, I knew I had to look and say the blessing and photograph it.
Last year I walked over and stood there. It was freaky, since the bus stop was in Arabic. Yes, ever since we started going on a new road and new bus stop, there aren't any "Jewish bus lines" there. Arabs travel on all the buses, but Jews aren't allowed on the Arab ones.

I make the bracha nearly every day, without Hashem's name. In the past almost 16 years I don't think I've gone a month without passing by where we had an accident. (sub-compact vs. 18 wheeler) We all walked away.
that's something
a real miracle
Do you get heavier cars now?
Well I have to have bigger cars. We have 6 children boruch Hashem!
Every year my brother - who was driving - and I make a Seudas Hodaah.
In the months following the accident there were a number of fatal truck accidents in Maryland where the car was crushed not pushed.
It's good to continue to thank G-d. I feel that I should do more.
