sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 254px) 100vw, 254px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>Friday, March 7, 2008<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Yesterday the search team looked for aviv barley in the area west of the Gaza Strip.\u00a0 We checked numerous fields and found no barley any closer than a month or six weeks to aviv.\u00a0 Much of it hadn\u2019t even headed yet, while that which was the most mature was only in the flowering stage with the kernel itself in the \u201ccotton\u201d stage and not even to the \u201cworm\u201d stage.\u00a0 So after searching the majority of the land of Israel and not having found a single stock of truly aviv barley, it can be safely declared that the barley will not be aviv and that we will declare an Adar Bet month.<\/p>\n<p>The region we searched in and around Ofain, Sderot, and Asheklon is basically quite flat with a few rolling hills.\u00a0 It is used totally for agriculture with fields of grain, fruits, and vegetables as far as the eye can see.\u00a0 Small farming communities are sprinkled throughout with hub towns here and there.\u00a0 The area is reminiscent of Illinois.\u00a0 The largest tree fruit crop is citrus.\u00a0 It is clear, in light of the countless orange (and lemon and grapefruit) groves I have seen throughout Israel why this nation is number one exporter of oranges to Europe.<\/p>\n<p>As we were passing by Sderot in search of barley, the braver (or more foolhardy\u2014depending on your perspective) part of our group as led by Nehemia, decided to go into Sderot to get a feel for what the Israelis in that town are experiencing from the daily barrage of rockets raining down on them from the Gazan Palestinian terrorists on the other side of a fence only a mile away.<\/p>\n<p>Before entering this red flag warning area, Nehemia warned us that if we should just happen to hear the sirens go off warning of an approaching rocket attack, or we should see people suddenly running for cover, that we would have 15 seconds to get out of our cars and flee for cover.\u00a0 All we were hoping to see was a bomb shelter.<\/p>\n<p>We entered Sderot and turned into a very modern looking college campus called Sapir College.\u00a0 It looked like one of our American community colleges.\u00a0 We went through a checkpoint and entered the campus in our cars.\u00a0 We drove in a ways and came to a parking lot area near a complex of building when suddenly we saw students running quickly toward the buildings.\u00a0 My first impression was that they were all late to class and that the tardy bell had gone off.\u00a0 It had slipped my mind that this was a college and not a grade school.\u00a0 Suddenly, Nehemia stopped his car, jumped out yelling to those of us in the other two cars that this was a real rocket attack and to head for a nearby concrete bomb shelter pill box looking affair approximately 10 foot square in size.\u00a0 I quickly stopped the car, everyone got out, and in my haste I forgot to set the car in park and it started coasting.\u00a0 I got back in, changed the gear and grabbed my movie camera.\u00a0 I was the last one into the bomb shelter, which was about 75-100 feet away.\u00a0 There were about 15-20 of us (members of our search team and students) standing shoulder to shoulder (like being in a crowded elevator) in there.\u00a0 A couple of minutes passed, the scare was over, everyone got out, and quickly the cell phones came out and people were making phone calls\u2014I suppose to let friends and loved ones know that they were safe.\u00a0 After that, everyone went on his way, business as usual.<\/p>\n<p>I witnessed first-hand the panic of people fleeing for their lives to the safety of the bomb shelter.\u00a0 I personally experienced the feelings of fear of knowing that a rocket was coming from somewhere that could land anywhere.\u00a0 Chances were that it wouldn\u2019t land near me, much less on me.\u00a0 BUT WHO KNOWS?!\u00a0 And it is that \u201cwho knows\u201d part that is really scary!\u00a0 I face fear for my life on a regular basis as a professional tree climber and arborist.\u00a0 But this fear was different.\u00a0 This is a war zone.\u00a0 In our searching for aviv barley in this area, we saw 15 or more lowboy semi-trucks going by carrying huge battle tanks.\u00a0 We saw even more armored troop carriers on lowboys.\u00a0 Soldiers are everywhere\u2014many carrying automatic weapons.\u00a0 THIS\u00a0 WAS\/IS A WAR ZONE! We were in the middle of it.\u00a0 It was life and death and there was an enemy over there who wanted to kill me\u2014not with words\u2014but literally.\u00a0 That was a totally new experience for me.\u00a0 I now have a small taste of what the Israelis at Sderot are going through every day.<\/p>\n<p>We later heard on the news that two Qasam rockets from the wicked demons in Gaza landed in Sderot yesterday.<\/p>\n<p>When we left the bomb shelter, we all walked about 200 feet to the sidewalk in front of the school buildings.\u00a0 There we saw a memorial and wreath with photos of an Israeli father of four who had been killed by a rocket the past week at that exact spot!\u00a0 I filmed the small nearby crater in the sidewalk made by the rocket that killed the man.\u00a0 The bloody paramedic glove was still in the 12\u201d deep by 18\u201d wide crater.\u00a0 That spot was 150 feet or so from the bomb shelter in which I took refuge and was only 75-100 feet from where I parked my car!\u00a0 Richard Bay from Vancouver, WA was in my car and saw it all.<\/p>\n<p>We left Sderot and the college and met up with the rest of our team at a small eatery where many Israelis gather to enjoy food at an outdoor caf\u00e9.\u00a0 Some in our group got beers (it was about 85 degrees outside), others got a coke and I got ice cream.\u00a0 The whole thing was too surreal for me.\u00a0 One minute I\u2019m fleeing for my life, the next I\u2019m feeding my face relaxing in an outdoor caf\u00e9.\u00a0 But this is how our brothers and sisters in Israel live their lives.\u00a0 Though they never know when a bomb might go off, a rocket might hit or whatever, life goes on.<\/p>\n<p>Several days ago, a rocket landed in a neighborhood of southern Jerusalem fired from the West Bank. \u00a0 In Tiberias where we just were, some Arabs were demonstrating.\u00a0 Yesterday in an Arab section in Jerusalem some angry Arabs tried to kill a couple of garbage workers.\u00a0 Last night Arabs broke into a Yeshiva and shot and killed four Jews.\u00a0 Secretary Rice is in Jerusalem right now trying to help find a solution to this mess by talking, talking and more talking with the parties involved.\u00a0 What utter foolishness and nonsense! These leaders are so deluded by their own self importance that they are blinded to the fact that nothing they can do will change the hatred Edom has for Israel.\u00a0 That will not change until Edom is destroyed prior to and at Yeshua\u2019s second coming as prophesied in the Bible.<\/p>\n<p>While in the area of Sderot, we also saw the once used border crossing checkpoint into Gaza near Gush Katif and the adjacent internment camp for those terrorist captured at that once active border crossing.\u00a0 The Doberman dogs still roam freely within its barbed wire metal walls.<\/p>\n<p>After that, we left the area and headed back to Jerusalem.\u00a0 In the outskirts of the city we stopped at a kosher McDonalds.\u00a0 I haven\u2019t eaten at a McDonalds in 15 years but, I got a hamburger just for the fun of it.\u00a0 No cheese on the burger because of the rabbinical koshur rules that forbid the mixing of dairy and meat!\u00a0 It just wasn\u2019t the same without the cheese.\u00a0 At the counter there is a wall that divides the meat products from the dairy ones. Those silly rabbis!!\u00a0 They take themselves and the unbiblical traditions so seriously.<\/p>\n<div class=\"evernoteSiteMemory\"><a href=\"javascript:\" onclick=\"Evernote.doClip({title: 'My Personal Account of Being in a Gaza Rocket Attack in Israel',url: 'https:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/2014\/07\/12\/gaza-rocket-attack\/',contentID: 'post-4996',suggestTags: 'Gaza Attack,Israel,Palestinians',providerName: 'Hoshana Rabbah Blog',styling: 'text' });return false\" class=\"evernoteSiteMemoryLink\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.evernote.com\/article-clipper.png\" \nclass=\"evernoteSiteMemoryButton\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\t\t\t\t<div class=\"evernoteSiteMemoryClear\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you ever been in a rocket attack in Israel?
