Body of 4th Israeli Hiker Found in Nepal

This morning, a rescue team operating in Nepal discovered the body of Michal Cherkesky, an Israeli woman who died during a surprise avalanche while hiking the Himalayan Mountains last week.

In an interview with Artuz 7, Rebbetzin Chani Lifshitz, co-director of Chabad of Nepal, expressed her dismay at discovering that the young woman did not survive.

“This morning we had to announce the discovery of the body of dear Michal,” the Rebbetzin said. “But right up until now we still kept hoping that we would find her alive.”
