English class was just wrapping up when a police officer entered the storefront at 9:50 a.m., handed me a piece of paper, and said I had to be at the police station by 10 o’clock (in 10 minutes).

I was interrogated for 2½ hours about allegedly attacking 2 Datim and knocking them to the ground last Monday. I insisted that all I did was grab the poster of the check with our personal info on it. I asked them “Why do you keep using the word attacked?” They were trying to make it look as if 2 Datim were walking down the street and I attacked them!

I told them that there were 17 to 20 Datim out there at any given time. And only one Dati was holding the poster when I grabbed it, but he soon had another guy helping him. All I laid hands on was the poster and I was the one ending up on the ground.

Hmmm, 17 to 20 Orthodox Jew’s words against a Christian in Israel among Jewish policemen and Jewish judges!

“God help me!!!”

P.S.
While I was at the police department in Arad, Lura was at the court house in Beersheva. She was trying straighten out all this confusion about ‘the check’.
