Within every inferno are also stories of miracles.
A great miracle occurred last weekend when the terrorist was allowed into the policeman's house to drink water, and due to the shock, he did not harm the policeman's wife and his family.
I read the text and my hair stood on end.
This week I finished writing book number 2 in my new book series: 'Zerach the Security Guard' - and just as I was busy proofreading the text, the title caught my eye: "The policeman let the terrorist into his house.".
And what shocked me so much about these things?
The book series 'Zerach the Security Guard' tells the story of a security guard who was not born to be a security guard (and who is born that way), but the security situation led to this.
In the first book that was already published, Zerach was a security guard at a boys' school. He managed to capture a terrorist, even though the children always mocked him and shouted at him: "Zerach the security guard is as thin as a stick, he only knows how to run away if a terrorist comes.".
In the second book, which has not yet been published, but is being written, and I am currently proofreading it, the security guard shines as a security guard at a nursing home.
In the story, everyone is running away from a terrorist, whose whereabouts are unknown and where he is at the moment. The security guard leaves his post in the nursing home to try to neutralize someone he thinks is a terrorist, even though he really wasn't, and in the meantime - the real terrorist escapes and manages to get into the nursing home.
One of the elderly men, sweet as honey, believes that the terrorist is one of the escapees. He feels that it would be a great mitzvah to host him in his room, so he affectionately invites him into the room and serves him a cup of sweet coffee.
The rest is written in the book of life.
I sat holding the copy of the book I was proofreading, and read alternately in the book of my adventures and the book of the life of all the people of Israel.
This is our life, I've come to the conclusion. Whether we like it or not.
This is not a legend.
