You turn your head for a second, and a little one can make a quicker getaway than students exiting a classroom at the sound of a recess bell. Almost always, children are thankfully found unharmed – they climbed behind the sofa, they hid in the closet, or they ran to the next aisle at the supermarket... Shauli Mordehai was a typically active toddler who enjoyed the disappearing act. So it followed that his house was extra, extra “child-proofed” with all the safety mechanisms available at the time. And it goes with out saying that there was ALWAYS at least one adult watching Shauli, his twin, Daniella, and their three-year-old sister, Eveline. Usually, it was two or three adults on call.

The Mordehai household continued its “active duty” watching the twins, until one day, the unthinkable happened. Who could have imagined that a little boy not even two years old could UNLOCK and OPEN a sliding glass door – in the space of a few seconds that the caregivers focused attention away. That sliding glass door, unfortunately, led to an unused, backyard built-in swimming pool. The pool was secured with a taught tarp, but one small area had become loose. Shauli followed a ball that fell under the tarp, and then he fell into the pool, where a few inches of rain water deprived him of life-giving oxygen.

This book chronicles Shauli’s life following the accident, and shows how a “regular family” developed super-human strength. The Mordehais, along with an amazing cadre of volunteers, never gave up hope, and never wavered in their immutable faith in the Master Healer. Learn More

“There is a secret panel beneath the carpet in my bedroom. Under a hidden floorboard, there is money and a cache of diamonds, for emergencies like this. If you see that I am delayed returning, you will take Mamme and the rest of the family, along with the hidden valuables, and cross the river to find me.”

Amidst falling bombs and enemy approach, Tatte leaves Reginna with a mission to bring Mamme and the family across the San River to the relative safety of the Soviet side. She promises Tatte she will do it. She is sixteen years old.

Following Tatte’s instructions, she bundles her family away from the German invasion and crosses the river that now designates the border between Germany and Soviet Russia. She leaves her hometown of Yaroslav far behind. Withstanding loss and years of enforced imprisonment in Siberia, she is relentless in her quest of finding her beloved Tatte, of protecting her ill Mamme, and of keeping her family together. Never losing faith, she holds tight to her belief that the Aibeshter is with her. And that she and her family will survive.
