Think of the daily mitzvah - a simple act of kindness every day until he is well. We will do that.

Another WJ parent here. Yes, please do send a card. He's in my son's senior class (although my son doesn't know him directly). I cannot see how it would be inappropriate to send him or his family a card in support wherever you're from.

It is hard to stop thinking about Eyal and especially about the 9-year-old who was killed. I don't live in the exact neighborhoods they were hit in, but the layouts and the lack of sidewalks are all too familiar. Not to mention the crazy drivers like the one who hit Eyal who just don't pay attention.

He wasn't hit by the bus. A driver hit him with a Jeep as he was going to get on the bus.

True. See A Mitzvah for Eyal on Facebook.

WJ students have been encouraged to send wishes. The family is strictly Kosher, so be careful with food gifts.

Do you think it is okay for people who don’t know him to send a card? I’m in Fairfax but think of this boy and the little girl who died every day.

Absolutely send the card. Anyone else should, too. From FB:

Another friend of Eyal’s is asking students/parents to send him well wishes. If anyone would like to send a card or letter, the info is:

Eyal Haddad

Attn: Counselor Rocky Wood

NP: I don’t think that’s weird. Send the card!


Yes send the card. How nice to know that your child made an impact on a teacher such that they remember them fondly years later. It is nice to know your loved one mattered!

Just curious. He and his family have been on my mind.
