Another Miracle B”H

 A Stray Dog Saves The Lives Of IDF Soldiers In Jenin

JERUSALEM (VINnews) — In Parshas Bo we read that the dogs received a reward to eat Treifos (animals found to be non-kosher) because they did not bark during the final plague- Makas Bechoros. This was deemed a miracle, since the the plague occurred at night when they are accustomed to barking and involved the Angel of Death- another cause for dogs to bark.

A soldier returning from Jenin, where the IDF is operating against numerous terrorist groups, stated that a stray dog had miraculously saved his life and the lives of his friends. While they were occupied with arrests in the town of Jenin, the dog tugged at the feet of Aharon (Choni).

“A stray dog in Jenin approached me while we were in the middle of an arrest operation. It tugged at my pants, and I couldn’t understand what it wanted. I followed it, and suddenly, the dog led me to a blanket,” Choni recounted. “We lifted it, and to our shock, we discovered a massive explosive device.”

“The soldier, who came to say HaGomel, presented worshippers with a photo of the explosive device and a picture of the dog, sharing that they had brought the dog back with them to Israel.”

Chacham [name redacted], a Kabbala teacher who has many of his shiurim posted on youtube, often quoted that a neshama might be sent into body of a dog as a punishment to fix certain sins. Hashem Yishmor. [Please see the youtube yourself, as the Rav protests against being quoted. And insists noboby should accept any quotes in his name -especially from annonymous posts at a chat room 😉 ]. I did not hear from the rav anything about this particular story. And as far as we know, the dog may have been just a dog. But if you enjoy mystical speculation, then perhaps pray and give tzedaka for all the Jewish neshamot to be fixed.
