The Wedding Disaster in Yavne – "This Is How I Was Saved Thanks to the 'Summons'"
(Naama Green)

On the sidelines of the disaster in the celebration hall in Yavne, the story of Yakir Guetta, who was saved from a serious injury or death, is published thanks to one mitzvah that exists.

Hello everyone,

I decided to bring it up myself to put the rumors in order. This week I went to the wedding of a childhood friend of mine, one of those friends who grew up together just like twins. It was an amazing and happy event; at some point after the main course, one of the brothers wanted us to go to the bar for another drink. I told him that we should first make a zimun (something that can only be done when there are three men eating together), recite a blessing over the food, and then let it remain with us for the blessing. Which until today I have never insisted on doing.

So my brothers and I did the zimmun and recited Birkat HaMazon. As soon as we finished greeting, the bar became a death trap and the happy event turned into a tragedy. And it all happened meters away from us, exactly where we would have been if we had gone to the bar. I don't understand miracles or heavenly calculations; I just know that we have probably received our lives as a gift.

I am publishing this so that they will know that I am not some great dos or yeshiva student; I am also a sinner and do not always keep the mitzvot. I'm just a simple person who did one small mitzvah. Just because he decided to say thank you for the food he eats.

So thank you for the food and the sustenance.
