The tearful conversation between Segev, who returned from Hamas captivity, and Hinoka, "The rabbi...

3:14 I didn't know myself, that I could stand up to the situations I stood in. It's only the Creator of the world, it's only your prayers, it's thanks to you. It's only thanks to you. Thanks to you, thanks to all the Jewish people. Thank you so much for everything you did for me, I don't take it for granted at all. You did so much for me. Thank you so much. Thank you. — Kobi, the Rav will tell you something that the Rav said about Simchas Torah. The Rav said that on Simchas...

3:40 right, on Rosh Hashanah, the Rav said about Simchas Torah that they would return. The Rav said that Simchas Torah has a good name, so that people won't think it's a holiday that... that the Jewish people would be afraid of this holiday. So you'll see when Hashem brings them back, on purpose. — Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Right, right, right. The Rav told me that; on Rosh Hashanah he told me that. Right, right. 'In Nisan they were redeemed; in Nisan they are destined to be redeemed.' Look at that. Oh my, oh my, oh my. Rav, I remember that you said it, nu. When I came to you, you told me, Benny, this is what I said to Kobi.

4:16 — Right, right, right. The Holy One, blessed be He, makes it so that at the time... Why is it written, 'In Nisan they were redeemed; in Nisan they are destined to be redeemed'? In Nisan the Jewish people remembered the suffering they came out of in Egypt, and so they too will merit to taste the taste of the light... This follows the saying of the Sages; about them: on Simchas Torah they went into exile, on Simchas Torah they will return. It's like the hint of the Torah. The Sages already hinted everything to us in the Torah; everything is hinted in it.

4:44 And this is our joy, to see you, and I'm moved as I remember now: two weeks ago, just when we did the prayer together... together, at the prayer. And your father prayed, and I'm telling you, you should know, you have a father who is an angel, an angel. Your father and your brothers, every time they would come with tears in their eyes, I'm telling you, with tears in their eyes, and with strength and hope.

5:13 You don't understand the ups and the downs there were. Every time there was tension, and there was, there was fear each time too. You know, there was also fear when there were the bombings that came to get you out, so each time we were tense: now what will they do, and that there shouldn't be harm either... when it was winter, and suddenly they said there were some kind of germs and epidemics there, a year ago. We worried all the time, and there were worries there all the time, and with the contact they didn't know whether you were there or not there.

5:44 And then I asked him, 'Is there an answer? Is there a sign of life from you?' He told me, 'We don't know'... and every time, tension. You don't understand what he went through, you don't understand. And I told him, 'With Hashem's help, read the story of Yosef and Yaakov.' — To this day, to this day, Rav. — 'Then you'll meet, together.' — Rav, to this day. — I know the story of Yosef and Yaakov. I know the story of Yosef and Yaakov. Two years... Do you want to hear something?

6:10 I'll tell you something. Oh my... I can't believe it. Do you know that they let me watch the story of Yosef and Yaakov there? — Oh my. — I didn't know the story of Yosef and Yaakov. They gave it to me, but from their Arab side, and that's how I understood it. I swear, I understood the story of Yosef and Yaakov. — From the...? — From a series, on a computer. They let me watch a series about Yosef and Yaakov. The series is called 'Sayidna Yusuf'; that's what the series is called. 'Sayidna Yusuf.' That's what the series is called, and I didn't know the story before, and I watched it there: that they took him, that they sold him, actually. — Right, a caravan of Ishmaelites. — Yes, his brothers threw him into a well,

6:46 and they found him, and sold him, and he was in prison for some years, between three and ten years, and he was in Potiphar's house. — Oh my, oh my, I can't believe it. Now you're telling me this? — Because he just said it now. — And the Rav said it, the Rav said it. Do you know what the Rav told me? One of the times I came, he saw me crying, he told me... the first time I didn't say it, because I also can't take in everything that's happening. In the two or three days I've been here I'm getting such an amount of information, I get confused, I don't know what, how, how...

7:15 so I'll say something about your story. I came to him at the synagogue the first time, he called... I told him about your story, he asked, he said to his assistant, 'Bring me a Chumash.' They brought a Chumash, and he looks at me, he says, 'I'm asking you: open Parshas Vayeshev, each day's aliyah. If today is Sunday, you read the first aliyah, chapter one, on Monday you read the second aliyah.' I told him, 'All right.'

7:45 I do that for a while, I come to the Rav again, he says to me... Rav... I tell him what's happening with you, and about the sign of life, and so on: 'Bless him.' He says to me, 'Are you still reading Parshas Vayeshev?' I told him, 'Rav, I don't stop.' I come to him a third time, and the Rav says to me, 'Are you still reading Parshas Vayigash?' I told him, 'Rav, it's not Parshas Vayigash, it's Vayeshev.' But it wasn't for nothing that he said Vayigash to me, because he was already preparing me. I think, Rav, you were preparing me, because Parshas Vayigash was already preparing Yosef's going out. Yosef meets Yaakov; that's in Parshas Vayigash. Do you know what he says? 'Shema Yisrael.' — Wow. Do you understand, Rav, what you told me?

8:18 One of the times you say to me, 'Kobi, are you still reading Parshas Vayigash?' So I corrected you, I told you, 'Rav, it's Parshas Vayeshev.' Then I say to myself... I started to say: the Rav didn't say Parshas Vayigash to you for nothing; he was probably also preparing you. Keep reading Parshas Vayigash, see what is hinted there. — See how much the Holy One, blessed be He, loves you: no matter what you would have read, whichever parshah, the Holy One, blessed be He, is with you.

8:42 And I'm telling you, your face is shining, you are full of light, and we, with Hashem's help, are with you, and we will not leave you. We are with you, and with your father, and with the whole family, and whatever you need. All the Jewish people are with you. We strengthen you, and we love you, and I'm happy to see you. Truly, it's a joy that I can't explain, in my spirit, to see you and your father together, I need to calm down.

9:10 Oy, oy, oy, oy. — Come on, Rav, bless Segev for us, that he should get married next year, and a baby boy, Rav. With Hashem's help. That's a mayor, truly. — I know, I know, but there's nothing like it. Not for nothing... in Dimona... Well done, well done. He has hands of gold. We've merited, we've merited a mayor.

9:36 — I'm telling you, what he did, too: at every opportunity that he came to me, regardless of anything, when your father wasn't there, when no one was involved, the first thing he did was ask for you, and ask for your father, all the time. He didn't stop asking for you, and he said, 'I want to be able to make the big event, I want to bring out a great joy.' He didn't stop. That's what he asked for. It was simply...

10:00 We have such good Jews in this world. — Yes, yes, yes, yes. Today I'm meeting these people around me, who wrap me in warmth, and I didn't know them before. I can't believe that they're doing all this for me. It's crazy. I can't take it in, I can't take it in. Thank you so much. — You're a true hero.

10:27 You're a true hero, and what you went through, no one can describe or imagine. And you, I'm telling you, these moments that you had in your life, you may remember them as days of darkness. But you should know that these days you went through are the days of the greatest light you have gone through in your life. Because these days will give you strength for your whole life, and the strength for it to blossom. You know, it's like seeds in the ground.

10:52 You put in seeds. These were perhaps the hardest days. The seeds rotted in the ground. But you will see what will blossom from you, and from all the friends, and from all your brothers who were there. You will raise up something great for the world. — Amen, amen. Thank you, Rav. Thank you, Rav. — I thank you, I thank you very much, and I love you very, very, very much.

11:17 — And we'll be waiting for the Rav at the thanksgiving party in Dimona, bli neder, bli neder, honored Rav. Thank you for everything, for accompanying us through these two years. Thank you, Rav. Thank you. Thank you, honored Rav, thank you. Bye, bye. We thank you.
