Soldier Proposes In Rehabilitation Ward After Lebanon Injury



Lev Podvitsky and his girlfriend Stav’s love story began five and a half years ago at an IDF base in the Golan Heights. The two quickly became close friends and recently Lev had already chosen the perfect ring to propose before he was called into battle and seriously injured in southern Lebanon, suffering leg and eye injuries.

Recovering slowly at Sheba Medical Center’s rehabilitation wing after four surgeries at Jerusalem’s Shaare Tzedek hospital, Lev, a fourth-year civil engineering student at the Technion Israel Institute of Technology was determined to go forward with his original intention and propose to Stav, with the help of the staff at the medical center.

His path to recovery brought him to Sheba’s “Returning to Life” rehabilitation center, where the staff helped create a special moment. They laid out a red carpet replicating the path Lev had once built between his and Stav’s offices at their military base.

 In the occupational therapy hall, Lev proposed, with the sign on the board reading “I may not be your superman, but will you be mine?” After Stav said yes, in a touching moment Lev rose from his wheelchair to embrace his new fiancée.
