SOMETIMES WITHOUT NO WARNING
- SOMETHING OUT OF ORDINARY
YOU CAN COMPREHEND ONLY AFTER IT OCCURS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH YOU MY PERSONAL JOURNEY
WHICH HAS NO LOGIC - BUT WHEN REVEALED TO US
WE CAN LEARN SOMETHING ABOUT WHAT IS TO COME AHEAD
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1991 IT ALL STARTED ON A VERY COLD WINTER'S DAY
IN NORTHERN ISRAEL
at that time I WORKED AS A COMPUTER ANALYIST - SO AS YOU CAN
GUESS - I HAD TO BE DRIVEN BY LOGICS - WHICH I TEND NORMALLY
' NOT TO BE - SINCE I'M A LITTLE BIT ADVENTUROUS OR ' OUT OF THE BOX
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I OFTEN CHOOSE MY WAY AND NOT NECESSARILY WHAT IS CONSIDERED
TO BE MAINSTREAM
< THE WELL KNOWN WRITTEN VERSE FROM THE BIBLE IS PROBABLY RIGHT
a person will not be tested by GOD more than he is able to bear
GOD WAS WITH ME ALL THE WAY
EVERY STEP OF THE JOURNEY
- TO 'BET OREN' - ON THE MOUNT CARMEL
-------------------------------------------------------------------------MIRACLE 1 ----------------------------------
EVERY day in the factory " CYCLONE " where I worked we used to take a short walk after lunch. ON that day the weather was cold and rainy - and nobody joined me to the little forest near by (today there is a factory called ''STRAUSS'') the earth was muddy after heavy showers in the morning - and now - the sky was full of clouds -but not a drop of rain to be seen... I looked ahead and noticed there lies a shining rock on the path . as i came closer i did not believe my eyes : it was smooth carved like a big diamond 20 cm - in diameter - the color was light brown
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I picked it up - it was very heavy - so I had 2 choices : to take it back to the factory - or take it 5 minutes ahead to the main road : CARMIEL - Akko
? THE MINUTE I SAW THE STONE - I KNEW I HAVE TO TAKE IT TO 'BET-OREN' - BUT HOW
---------------------------------------------------------------------------MIRACLE 2 ------------------------------
a day before my neighbour YOEL HOROVITZ who used to work as a tourists guide called me (AS SOON AS I ENTERED THE BUILDING ) to show me slides of this place - ( "a year before there was a big fire - and now every thing is blooming" - he said)
he gave me a full picture of the entrance to BET -OREN mentioning every little detail
-----------------------------------------------------------------
a cabbalist told me : your name is Bet OREN
IN YOUR NAME THERE IS oren TWICE :
ר א ו ב ן א ו ר ן
reuven
gematria : א=1 , ב =2 , ג=3 , ד=4 , ה=5...
18/8/1952 כ"ח באב תשי"ב <== I WAS BORN
--------------------------------------------------------------------------MIRACLE 3 ---------------------------
from now on - everything is out of explanation
I took the stone : wrote on it BET OREN in Hebrew (IT WAS SMOOTH LIKE A BABY'S CHEEK) with my yellow MARKER ---> that I had in my pocket to mark wrong sentences in the computer plans
NOW I AM standing on the main road to Akko
NO BODY STOPPED BECAUSE EVERY BODDY WAS SPEEDING DOWN THE ROAD -UNTIL
came along an Arabic guy called ALI who drove on a cranky car and stopped
I set in the rear --> hiding the stone between my legs -
and we talked about co-existence in the Middle-East
when we reached Akko I thanked him and gave him my golden watch - that I got for my wedding
--------------------------------------------------------------------------MIRACLE 4 -------------------------------
AS I GOT OUT OF THE CAR - I SAW IN THE DITCH A LONG BLUE PLASTIC TUBE WHICH FITTED EXACTLY : I TOOK THE STONE WITH ME TO THE MARKET NEARBY
THERE I SAW 2 JEWISH TRADESMEN SHOUTING AT EACH OTHER ---> I MADE PEACE BETWEEN THEM - AND THEN THEY TOOK ME INSIDE : HELPING ME WITH DRY SOCKS AND SHIRT- AND A CUP OF TEA WITH COOKIES --> NOW THAT I WAS UNDER SHELTER -STARTED A BIG RAIN
( along with my raincoat -MY WALLET WAS LEFT IN MY OFFICE )
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- MIRACLE 5 -------------------------------
AFTER A WHILE I HEARD THE TRAIN BUZZ:TOO-TOO-TOO TO LEAVE THE STATION : I TOOK THE STONE AND RAN LIKE THE WIND ( NO FENCES in 1991) ---> ON MY WAY TO HAIFA
THE CABINET WAS EMPTY AND suddenly a NICE OLD RELIGIOS MAN CAME IN - SITTING NEXT TO ME - EATING HAZELNUTS
HE OFFERED ME SOME - BUT I TOLD HIM : NO THANKS - I JUST HAD A LITTLE MEAL
- BUT HE insisted and gave me 10 OF THEM - TO KEEP IN MY SHIRT POCKET
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
'IN HAIFA I ASKED ABOUT THE BUS TO 'BET-OREN
"ONLY IN THE EVENING "
SO I WENT INTO A BANK ---> SLEEPING ON A COACH FOR 2 HOURS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------MIRACLE 6 -------------------------
THE BUS WAS CLIMBING MOUNT CARMEL - IN CIRCLES
AND the station is INSIDE THE KIBBUTZ ---> THERE I SAW A SUPERMARKET CART TO PLACE THE HEAVY STONE
WHO ARE YOU ? - ASKE ME ONE OF MEMBERES OF THE KIBBUTZ
I AM " OREN" I ANSWERED
" !! OREN" he said - " WE ARE WAITING FOR YOU - 2 DAYS".....
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was shocked - but so hungry and tired - so i kept silent
he took me to sign some papers about me -
amazingly two days before - there was a meeting for new ones to join the kibbutz <---
and since the man in charge who had the list of names was missing - they thought - it's me
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I wrote all my family details - mentioning that I am a acomputer analyst looking for a job in the kibbutz . at this time i did not wear a yarmulke on my head . my parents kept traditional jewish way of life. they were both Holocast survivors - who believed in hard work - to build .their life
father told me how in White Russia (Siberia) they had to eat even a burried horse in the snow - in order to survive ---> real hunger
-----------------one day he falls into a snowy valley with two oxes : shouting for help from GOD - and managed to keep alive
mother was 12 years old when she was taken to a shelter for kids - there she collapsed after
not eating a proper meal - FOR A LONG TIME . they were a very rich family in ROMANIA
(רחוב : שדרות האבן = Stein Strassse street )
SHE NEW ALL THE BOOK OF PSALMS BY HEART - AND KEPT PRAYING UNTILL THEY
WERE RELEASED AND ( BY TRAIN ) CAME TO ISRAEL
-SO KEEPING OPTIMISTIC - IS A MOTO IN MY HEAD
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------MIRACLE 7 ------------------------
when I entered the dining room in the kibbutz - I notice the candelabrum with the candles - waiting to be lit on FRIDAY NIGHT
we had a nice big meal - when suddenly the lights went off in all the region - due to the horrible thunders - outside
so I told them to light the candles - and they did - and then the light returned
--------------------------
so they asked me what are my plans ahead ( my belly is full ) so i replied with a sense of humor : since the weather is so cold - put me to sleep on the roof - with a female kibbutz member - to keep me warm
suddenly they started whispering - they did not like the answer - and told me: since the security official is not present - I have to leave the kibbutz
---------------------------------------------
I said OK
( took the stone (looked like my bag
( and went out ( no fences by the gate
I took out the rock and put it in the entrance - under a big pine tree
I had a broken umbrella - that i found - but - the rain was very heavy --> i can go back crying for
mercy - but i decide to go on - by the information given to me by my neighbour in Carmiel
------------------------------------------------
there I saw the grocery store - but it was empty - so I went on to the riding center - where they kept the horses
I did not know whether there is a guard ( to shoot me) so i kept crying : HELP - PLEASE - HELP ME
I was quite dizzy - all wet - when i saw a round building with an open little window
( I felt as if someone is watching me from above ---> the strong wind did not discourage me)
I managed to fall into the place - there I had all I needed to survive :
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------MIRACLE 8 ----------------
I covered myself with soft velvet - (they kept it there for the horses in the winter ) I was really freezing ---> in the darkness- I found a big piece of thick nylon - so i laid on the hay covering myself , and on my head I put a big warm hat with the logo of BET-OREN - to cover also my ears
I had in my pocket the Huzle-nuts TO EAT - and fell asleep like a baby in a warm cradle <---
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MIRACLE 9 --------------------
five o'clock I waked up - and opend the window - the rain stopped but it was so cold - no one to be
seen - so i managed to fall out of the window - with all the warm layers on me including the big nylon
moving forward - i saw the sign : to TEL AVIV - so I stood on road looking for somebody to take me to YEHUD - where my parents lived
after some minutes - a VAN came - saw me - went on - but suddenly stopped - driving back :
ENDREW -->> A CHRISTIAN GUY DRIVING TO THE AIR PORT OF BEN-GURION - TO MEET HIS MOTHER ---> COMING FROM ENGLAND
he told me that I looked like a ghost - but when he saw the hat he understood that I belong to the kibbutz
-------------
THE ROADS WERE EMPTY - AND HE GAVE ME SOME MONEY - TO TAKE THE BUS from BNEI-ATAROT - INTO YEHUD
THE BUS- DRIVER TOLD ME - DO NOT PAY - JUST GET QUICKLY INTO THE BUS - SO COLD IT WAS
SEVEN O'CLOCK I KNOCKED ON THE DOOR- MY FATHER OPENED - SAW ME AND STARTED CRYING - "WHY ARE YOU CRYING" ? I AM ALIVE I SAID
ALL WEEKEND I STAYED IN MY PARENTS HOME AND WENT BACK TO MY FAMILY - TO WORK ON SUNDAY MORNING - AS IF NOTHING HAPPEND
------------------
my father took all my staff and burned it - I guess it reminded him his suffer in the World War II ---> as a boy he saved his famiily : when he had a dream - that a German plane is coming to kill them all - he waked his father and they ran away in the middle of the night - when they saw from above how the place was burning with fire
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
( my grandmother was a daughter of a Rabbi who married a simple coachman ( driving a horse
who saved their life - escaping from the Germans untill they reached -TASHKENT in the south (Oʻzbekiston) - with only one horse - since a horse can cross big rivers - like a tank
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------MIRACLE 10 -------------------------------------
years later I met the messiah "MORDECAI HAYEHUDI " who told me that my task in BET OREN is not completed yet
the redemption will be one day after Passover - there is a Jewish festival called MIMUNA in which everybody comes to visit and eat with a sense of unity
