"He stopped me on the street, asked if I was free, spoke good and beautiful Hebrew, and got into the car, I noticed that he was a little scared. I dropped him off at the police and suddenly after I drove off 400 cars came after me. The policeman told me 'God loves you', I turn back and see The gun with the bullets in the back seat. I could have gotten a bullet in the head. A miracle happened to me."
