During a school trip to Nahal Tze'elim [Tze'elim Stream], the students of the Bnei Tzvi Yeshiva noticed a wounded traveler and did the unbelievable for him.
The yeshiva students had gone on a trip to Nahal Tze'elim in the Judean Desert, and during the trip, they noticed three people who had stopped by the side of the road. It was only when they approached that they realized it was a tourist who had sprained a knee and his two daughters. The tourist spoke only Spanish, but luckily, one of the yeshiva students had immigrated from Spain in recent years and spoke with the injured man.
Yitzhak David, one of the students who saw the wounded man, said: "At first we thought they were just resting, but we soon realized that he was a wounded tourist. We could not speak to him because he spoke only Spanish. Eventually it became evident that his name was Javier and he had sprained his knee on this trail. He was really suffering and could not move because of the pain."
The group's medic quickly arrived to treat the wounded man and stabilize his knee. Despite the treatment, Javier could not continue on the trail alone. The sun was about to set and they could not leave him alone in the area among the mountains and rocks.
After much deliberation, it was decided that despite the difficult and rocky road, the students would carry Javier along the entire route. One part of the group ran toward the bus to fetch a stretcher, while the rest of the group moved slowly with the wounded man, stopping every few moments to give him a rest.
Shlomo, one of the runners, said, "We ran like crazy to bring the gurney before night and we managed to reach the wounded man and put him on it carefully. The road was full of rocks and with every little bump we heard how much he was suffering from the movement. With the help of HaShem, we made it to the bus and brought him to his daughters who were waiting with a car at the end of the trail."
The next day, Javier's daughter, Lolita, sent a long thank-you note to Patrick the medic and to the students of Bnei Zvi: "I wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart. You saved him, carrying him along a difficult path for several kilometers. We're just so grateful. Indeed these are not the best circumstances, but I'm glad we were exposed to the beautiful Israelis that are here in this country. A thousand thanks!" According to her, the doctor who examined Javier said that his leg would ultimately heal, and that they had brought him in the nick of time, before the situation began to deteriorate.
But the encounter in the middle of the trail did not end there. Yehuda, one of the stretcher bearers, felt that it was a special experience for him: "The whole time I felt the intense sanctification of HaShem's Name. I saw how the Temple itself was getting closer and closer through a great 'senseless love.' How fortunate that I merited to be part of a nation like this! How fortunate that I merited to be in a yeshiva like this!"
