A driver under the influence of drugs slammed his vehicle into the Chabad of Palm Springs Shul on Shabbos day, with the vehicle crashing into the Bais Medrash and causing heavy damage to the Shul.
The accident occurred on Shabbos morning just after davening was over, as Palm Springs’ Chabad Shliach and another individual were still in the Bais Medrash. The errant vehicle caused massive damage to the shul located on East Palm Canyon Drive.
Thank G-d, no one was injured inside or outside the Shul.
The car rammed into the Shul at the exact spot where the Satmar Rebbe, Rav Aharon Teitelbaum shlit”a, stands during davening each weekday of his annual vacation to the town – which was scheduled to begin on the next day, Sunday.
The driver was not seriously injured, but congregants were unable to daven in the shul for the remainder of the day, and shalosh seudos had to take place outside.
Rav Aharon shlit”a davens in the Chabad of Palm Springs on Weekdays when in the town and has his own minyan on Shabbos.
Are all those cameras permitted to be filming on Shabbos?
What film? Digital cameras do not use film.
Yes, they’re allowed, specifically for this reason
B”H, what a nes. No one of the people in the shul got injured or worse, then that.
