In July, Dekel Shalev, who along with her husband and three children, survived the attack on Beeri by hiding in a safe room for fifteen hours, told us her story in two parts. To accompany the video below that she just sent me, we’re linking again to these two segments, for those who would like to revisit them or hear them for the first time.

Dekel Shalev on Israel from the Inside, Part II.
I’ll be traveling this week, so our schedule of posting will be slightly adjusted. As always, though, podcasts will appear on Wednesdays as regularly scheduled. Other columns will be sent out, as well.
Israeli TV recently ran a story about Dekel, now living with her family in Denver. It’s a hard story, a poignant one, and Dekel sent it to me with permission to share it with our readers and listeners.
It was subtitled into English before we received it.
