Her Hamsa necklace broke and went flying to the back.<BR/><BR/>She got up to get it, and went to the back of the bus. When she got to the back, the young man she had been sitting next to blew himself up.<BR/><BR/>She survived.JoeSettlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01232647820807408898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-33817284793143420162008-01-18T15:11:00.000+02:002008-01-18T15:11:00.000+02:00Hi Yehe--now I am terribly curious and trying to f...Hi Yehe--now I am terribly curious and trying to figure out who DH is....

I remember her story well - there was a whole thing raging on Janglo and other places after the bombing because she was a new olah - IIRC she was so totally ALONE and maybe didn't have ID or something...<BR/><BR/>DH was in touch with her for a while, and now we'll try and re-establish contact.

I really am proud of being both Jewish and Israeli (and American, for that matter). "Bombing victim muppet" came out of a conversation a friend and I were having about the Israeli version of Seseme Street. Suffice it to say that we determined that 1) The show needed a bombing victim muppet to be a truly authentic portrayal of Israeli life (this was 2002, in J'lem) and 2) I could be that muppet. <BR/><BR/>Thanks again. The positive responses I have been getting are so incredibly encouraging. <BR/><BR/>GilaGilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13246089571573457394noreply@blogger.com
