In the German Lab they say, "This is not applicable for Jews!"
Finally, one day he says to me: "You know, they sent the test results to Germany". Over there, a laboratory said: "We are ashamed to tell you, but this doesn't belong to you—you are Jews. But this bacterium—she contracted a bacterium that causes necrosis in the body, and it's impossible to get rid of. It is only found in pigs. And you are Jews, you don't eat pork, so we are amazed at how you contracted it".
For over thirty years, every Tuesday I go to Bat Yam. We have a yeshiva there. I give classes there—a Tuesday class in Bat Yam. Every Tuesday, for over thirty years.
There was a period when a certain Jewish man from Sha'alvim used to drive me. He connected with me and said, "I will take you down to Bat Yam and I will bring you back". Okay. He used to drive me.
One day he said to me: "Look, I have a very, very good friend, a professor. He was with him in the army. He lives in the Golan Heights. He has a twenty-year-old daughter, as beautiful as the moon, as pure as the sun". He told me, "There is no beauty like hers. This daughter fell ill, and developed a kind of necrosis in her ear, asking if I could pray for her". Okay.
A week later he tells me, her father went to all the doctors. He himself is a professor, and they can't figure out what it is. He cut off her ear—half an ear—removing it because of the necrosis. How he cried, how he grieved! What a good daughter, with good virtues, beautiful... and he cried as he told me—this driver of mine—crying.
Finally, one day he says to me: "You know, they sent the test results to Germany". Over there, a laboratory said: "We are ashamed to tell you, but this doesn't belong to you—you are Jews. But this bacterium—she contracted a bacterium that causes necrosis in the body, and it's impossible to get rid of. It is only found in pigs. And you are Jews, you don't eat pork, so we are amazed at how you contracted it".
What did he tell me? That this friend of his from the Golan Heights, the professor—all his food was strictly pork! He... had a hobby of going into the forests in the Golan Heights to hunt pigs. He would bring them home, cut off their heads, skin them, slice them up, and put them in the freezer. Every time they felt like eating, they would put it on the grill. Not upon you or me, May Hashem save us, poor guy, poor guy!
I am telling you what the end was: he took his daughter, cut off one ear, cut off the second ear, cut off her nose, cut off her lip, cut off a finger, and another finger, and another finger, and another finger, until he cut her into pieces! Her own father!
Why? The Torah commanded: Do not eat forbidden foods! May Hashem save us; may Hashem save us! They... simply don't understand the severity of the matter. They don't know that when the Torah says "do not do," it means do not do!
