Miraculous Rescue from a Stabbing Attempt of a Shuvu Banim Community Member - Student of Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a

On the morning of Thursday, Parshat Vayigash, 13.12.18, while the people of Israel were experiencing another wave of murderous terror, a stabbing attempt occurred at Sha'ar Shechem where a miraculous rescue happened to a yeshiva student, a disciple of the esteemed tzaddik Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a. This involved Yeshiva student David HaLevi, may he live, who belongs to the Breslov chassidut 'Shuvu Banim' and was on his way back from the 'Shuvu Banim' yeshiva located on Ma'aleh Chaladiyah Street in the Old City of Jerusalem.

These are the words he said in an interview with the Global Breslov Line. "Early in the morning, I was at the yeshiva, studying and immersing in the mikveh. When I left the mikveh, a young man approached me and asked for charity. I had never found it so difficult to give a few shekels to charity, but in the end, I overcame and gave him the last ten shekels I had in my pocket. In retrospect, the saying of our Sages, 'Charity saves from death' (end of Tractate Shabbat), became clear to me. I truly felt how I had a test to give the charity that ultimately saved me."

"I left the yeshiva (on Ma'aleh Chaladiyah Street) towards the Third Wall Street through Sha'ar Shechem at around five in the morning. I was alone on the way and was reciting the Tikkun Chatzot while walking. After the area of Lion's Gate, two Arabs were walking in front of me, and suddenly the terrorist appeared from behind them. I still see in front of my eyes the sight of the knife blade that he drew against me and with which he tried to stab me."

"The terrorist jumped on me with the knife, and from the force of the blow, I was knocked down. From the ground, I looked at him, and he looked at me, and until now, I do not understand why he continued to run towards the soldiers and left me alone. A few minutes later, I heard six or seven shots and understood that they killed the terrorist. I was injured from the fall, but he did not succeed in stabbing me with the knife."

"All that we walk through Sha'ar Shechem and in general is by the power of the words of our teacher Rav Berland shlit"a that emunah (faith) is greater than fear. We believe in all the words that the Rav teaches us throughout the years, and with this, we walk - the emunah in Hashem. I will continue to walk from Sha'ar Shechem because the terrorists are only there to awaken us to teshuvah (repentance)."

"Certainly, the prayer assembly in Hebron organized by the Rav shlit"a in Hebron contributed to the miracle that happened to me, but ultimately the merit of our teacher Rav Berland shlit"a is what protects all of us."
