''ראיתי את המוות בעיניים 5 פעמים'' - סיפורו האישי והלא ייאמן של איתמר אלוס

What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi David Prioff’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

Okay, so good evening to everyone. I fought in Ofakim. I'm a soldier in the Netivot police and I live in Ofakim in the Mishor HaGefen neighborhood. And for that, 16 terrorists entered the city, my neighborhood, and I went out to fight with only a gun and 15 bullets. And thank God, I had many, many miracles. Miracles beyond nature that I still can't understand how it happened. And you're welcome. And you'll soon understand. Great miracles. And thank God, God was with me. And I saved about seven people from death. And I know some wounded people, and some who were less wounded, but certainly from death. Six times, five times, they shot at me. They fired The first is to publicize the miracle, and a person who has had a miracle performed should publicize this miracle, and King David also wrote this in the Psalms. He wrote this in the Psalms that a person who has had a miracle performed and will publicize this miracle, the Holy One, blessed be He, will influence him with more miracles. So that's the first thing. The miracle that happened. The miracles that were read to me. And I need to publicize them. The second thing is to honor my friends who lost their second thing is to honor my friends who lost their lives that day and to cherish them and to tell their stories. That's part of my goals. Each one is a world in itself. I also don't want to compare what we went through in Ofakim with what they went through on the kibbutzim and the moshavim. There's no point here. A mother who lost a child here and a mother who lost a child there is the same suffering and the same sorrow. Oh, and the third goal. I see the seventh to the tenth.
