As the search and rescue operation entered its third full day on Sunday, rescue crews continued their desperate search for survivors of the collapse early Thursday morning of a 12-story oceanfront condominium in Surfside, Fla., just north of Miami Beach.
Officials said nine victims have now been found, as prayers and good deeds for the missing continued. More than 150 people remain unaccounted for.
A special prayer service will take place at 3 p.m. in the main sanctuary of The Shul of Bal Harbour, which has been at the epicenter of relief and comfort for the now-homeless survivors, including the injured, as well as family members flocking to the town in the hopes of a miracle.
Sunday afternoon’s prayer service will be held in conjunction with the commemoration of the solemn fast day of 17 Tammuz. There will be special prayers for miracles and healing for all those individuals and families affected by the tragedy for the safety of the rescue teams. “Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families,” read an announcement of the event. “May Hashem (G‑d) comfort and console them at this sad time.”
Live Prayers to begin approximately 3:15 PM
