I've been in Israel since March of 1982. Sometimes when you are going out of your home, you are wondering whether you will be coming back again because of the bombings that have been taking place recently. So I attempt every day to see the fact of everyone's spiritual being.

Once I was driving along the route I always drove at that time, which took me through an area of buses Palestinians used to go to their homes outside of Jerusalem. And as I went by, the car was hit by several stones, and one stone about the size of a baseball came crashing through the window on the passenger side.
