"Our soul is like a fledgling bird"
: the book of Psalms that was in the pocket of one of the victims of the attack at the entrance to Jerusalem stopped the shrapnel that flew towards him and thus prevented an even more serious injury.
The 62-year-old wounded man, who arrived in serious condition after the infernal attack at the entrance to Jerusalem, recovered after a series of surgeries to remove the shrapnel from his body.
On Saturday evening, the CEO of the hospital, Prof. Ofer Marin, the rabbi of the hospital, Rabbi Asher Weiss, and the rabbi of the hospital, Rabbi Moshe Peleg, came to visit him and the victims of the attack.

The hospitalized person surprised his visitors when he presented them with a book of Psalms that was next to him at the time of the explosion when he was on his way to travel from his home to Miron.
A sharp shard hit the back cover of the Book of Psalms, penetrated into the book and stopped in the 124th chapter of the Psalms, where the verse appeared: "Our soul like a bird escaped from a box of hardness... and we escaped."
The shard penetrated the Book of Psalms until the verse "Our soul is like a fledgling bird",

The shard penetrated and tore the book in its entirety down to the same page and the same words.
The injured person, who asked not to be identified, approved publishing the photograph of the torn book of Psalms inside and out and asked to emphasize 3 words next to the moving picture of the book in his hands: "This is what helps."
