This is the first year that the family from Kiryat Yearim (Talz Stone) has fully released the Passover vessels. Due to the corona, everyone remained at home and so it was decided to also remove the tools that are not used in a normal year. Surprisingly, a small bag containing treasure - the jewelery that had been lost for many years - fell out of the tools.

Seven years ago, the jewelry was lost. "These are the rings my wife received from my mother and mother-in-law, personal items that are also valuable. Each item has a family history," says Rabbi R., the father of the family, who requested anonymity, to "Israel today." Due to their value, the items were insured with Menora. After extensive searches, the family members despaired, contacted the insurance company, and received the estimated value, about NIS 47,000. 

Moments after rubbing her eyes in amazement at the sight of the lost jewelry, R. rushed to call the insurance company and returned the money. "The truth is, I had some qualms about claiming something that I thought was lost, so I'm glad it ended in peace." The insurance company, which is unlikely to receive such phones, sent a thank-you note and flowers to the family.

Rumor has spread in and out of the community and yesterday, some of the story details came to social networks. Yitzhak Ravitz, head of the Kiryat Yearim Council, told Israel Today that he was not surprised by the way the story unfolded. "Anyone who lives here in the locality and knows Rabbi R. is not surprised. It is a tremendous right to live next to decent, noble and noble people who do sanctification of the name in many."
