I Died… and Came Back. What I Saw Will Change You Forever - Near Death Experiences You Won’t Forget

And then I see [music] my uncle soul and I just couldn't understand why why he had passed away. >> [music] >> She said to me, "Yossi, I can't believe it's you. I mean, I heard the doctor when he told us the whole family, he gathered [music] us, the department head, that you would be either a vegetable or in a coma for the rest of your life." >> [music] >> Shalom. My name is Yossi Zohar. I currently live in Beit Shemesh. I manage the Bnei Melachim Yeshiva here in Beit Shemesh. It's quite a large campus and the person who helped me fund this entire truly massive expense was my mother's brother. His name was Aharon. The age difference between us was 9 years, not much. He and I were like brothers. True, he was my uncle biologically, but we went through life together. And 3 years ago, he flew to India to visit his son there who is involved in Chabad activities. He returned from India [music] after being there for 3 weeks and then he felt some stomach pain, something in the morning [music] right after the flight. He collapsed in his home. They took him straight to Tel Hashomer. They sedated him. And for 3 weeks he fought for his life. I worked very hard. [music] I went everywhere possible. I gave charity. I prayed. I fasted. I gave my all for this and after 3 weeks, he passed away. It pained me so much. This was the uncle who married me, helped me, helped the whole family, supported us. Such a wonderful man. Why did the creator of the world do this to him? That's how I spoke [music] on Sunday after we buried him on Thursday of that same week while my mother, may God protect her, was sitting shiva. I went on Thursday when they do the memorial service for the shiva. I headed out then towards Bnei Brak Ramat Gan. And my car was parked here on the Route 38. That's the main road of Beit Shemesh. It was parked there. I asked a young scholar after the daily lesson I give, "Take me to my car." I arrived at the spot. I crossed two lanes. In the third lane at the crosswalk, a white Skoda Octavia arrived [music] driving at 130. I don't want to tell you the details of the driver. I won't shame him either, but it's not pleasant. He wasn't very focused and he sent me flying high into the air. 50 m, it threw me into the opposite lane >> [music] >> where a truck hit me and knocked me back. You can see some scars here. You see them here. I'm wearing a tie not just to look respectable, but so you don't see all the holes I have in my body, but uh also my face is a bit crushed, but [music] uh it threw me from here. Here the car hit me and here my leg was injured. My left leg is more severe because that was already uh the work of the truck and that's it. From that moment on, I don't remember anything. Even from that moment, I don't remember. One of the paramedics who treated me is a guy I actually grew up with. I even helped raise him myself. And his name is Yitzhak Levinger. Yitzhak Levinger. He arrived at the scene. He didn't even recognize it was me because my whole face had changed and swollen. When he tried to touch me and he told me this, and you can check this in Beit Shemesh, Yitzhak Levinger, he went to bury my blood. He said, "If I die, then the blood must be buried." He didn't know I would live. He told everyone, "He's dead." One of the organizations here in Beit Shemesh, it's called Ezrat Achim. The chairman of the organization, his name was Avrahami Kopp. Ask him too what I'm telling you now. He arrived at the scene. He even treated me. He told me [music] there's no chance. He just covered me and they waited for a doctor from Mada to come and pronounce me dead. Social services from Beit Shemesh came to my house to tell my children the situation that their father wouldn't return. Tragedy, pain. And my mother was sitting shiva at those moments. Almost no one knows that. They tried to hide it from my wife. All the Hasidim here in the neighborhood already came under my house. And they told it in such a gentle way to my wife that I was injured. Painful story. I don't want to sadden you too much. And then from heaven, they waited for a doctor. Five doctors arrived, people who were invited. They finished a seminar in Tel Aviv at the Hilof and on the way to Gush Etzion where they live, they stopped [music] at the scene of the accident, got out and performed field surgery on me there and brought back my pulse. Thank God. I showed signs of life and then they rushed me quickly to Hadassah. One of the doctors there, his name was Avi Bendavid. I met him once. I haven't met [music] him since then. When he saw and he asked how much time had passed since the accident, they told him a few minutes. So he got out and the arteries that were torn, which is the whole shoulder area. So he What did he do? I don't know. I don't know. I'm not a doctor, but he connected, gave me a few electric shocks. I don't know how and thank God I showed some signs. I'm stopping now. I'm stopping now to tell you that 2 days ago, what I'm telling you is the absolute truth. My aunt, my mother's sister, her name is Dalia. She saw me 2 days ago. 2 days from today, she said to me, "Yossi, I can't believe it's you." Meaning I heard the doctor. [music] How he told us, he gathered the whole family, the professor of the department, that you would be either a vegetable or in a coma for the rest of your life. That we shouldn't expect anything. There's no chance that I would wake up. That's what happened in the end, [music] but uh I'm stopping for a moment. I'll tell you what happened in the end. That thank God they took me to Hadassah. There I don't know anything. I wasn't here. First time I saw how I look >> [music] >> without a mirror that same evening. I, for the sake of the example, I'll tell you. My head is here on the left side, my leg's on the right side. That's how I see it. I'm without clothes. Here next to my head is a Jew and next to my legs are two Arabs. I already saw a wall here in this place in this V. My wife, may God bless her, sat here. Next to her sat another woman asleep like that. That's what it was and my wife was with Psalms. That's what I saw. It was like that. I sort of left my body looking at myself from above. There's no number of minutes from this moment until the end of this story that I can estimate for you. Everything is virtual. Everything is elevated and then I go through something almost like following a path like that, you know? That I reach a huge area. Something that truly feels like it has no boundaries at all. I am just like myself right inside this wild, almost crazy space. A place that feels limitless and open where there are no walls or edges to hold me in. There's no estimation for it because this world is not the world to come. It's something else entirely. You are alone now. Just to give you an idea. God forbid it happens to others. Think now about your brother, about your sister, about your mother. About the person you know. Remember what I'm telling you now. Two things. First of all, this dream, you will see faces, but they aren't the authentic ones, you know? I now know someone named Yaakov. That's my son. When I see them in the dream, I don't see the real face of Yaakov. I see a different face. We are covered in many many many garments from the incarnations we've been through. So we will see, I know it's him, but how he looks, not [music] like I know him. Remember what I'm telling you. Check it yourselves. That the face is not what we know, but I know it's him. The second thing, there is no speech. This the decibels, all this height, this volume, there's no such concept in the world. It's all subconscious. I'm speaking to you through my mind. You look at me. I look at you and then I see my uncle soul. I just didn't understand why why he passed away. What what happened to him? What what sin did he commit? What angered the creator so much that he killed him? And my uncle, I don't want to give details here because people will be recognized and it could hurt people, but curses. Those curses killed him. With force. It's like I saw it. Like I was a bit [music] shocked and there's no way to really understand. And then I continue. I can't tell you exactly how long it was, but I see someone one time entered the yard. And a dog jumped out at him from behind the tree or something. He galloped toward him and the gate is already closed. Those are the anxieties I'm going through today. I take Tiberalex and also Bon Ami. So that I can fall asleep quickly. And you can even ask my family. I have insomnia to this day after 3 years. I get startled every time. As much as I look like a strong person and I have some inner strength and boldness, I break down. [music] I break down also in tears. I'm suddenly shaken by this terrible experience. Now that I'm talking to you, it's all surfacing. So, it's a bit uncomfortable to talk about. But again, I repeat, I get startled is mainly all the things I did consciously. I see all of that. Everything I knew was forbidden and I did it intentionally, knowingly, consciously. You create a demon besides the scene, you create a demon that devours you. I'm afraid every time, well. You don't just see the movie, you know, this was created from that that from this, you understand everything on your own. You see this fear, it comes from this scene, from that scene, from this act. After that, you go through deed after deed, quantities. [music] And you're terrified of all of them. Then they show you the good things, too. What did help me? Was mainly helping the helpless. People who don't have much power or friends or money or looks, people with broken hearts. And they ended up protecting me. I don't want to detail [music] names here, but if anyone wants to ask me, I can tell them. And one more thing helped me a lot when I overcame an [music] impulse. No one knew about it that I didn't look. I didn't eat, I didn't speak or I didn't do a certain thing [music] for the sake of the creator and it didn't happen much, unfortunately. That's what helped me because it was for the sake of heaven. It wasn't so that [music] I would get people to say to me, "Wow, you're so great, you're strong." No one even knows about it. I myself don't want to do this. Two things helped me, helping the poor which [music] was for the sake of heaven. No one ever said, "Thank you very much" to me. And the second thing was overcoming [music] my inclination. And that brought me such happiness. Such protection, such strength, such sudden [music] self-confidence, so to speak, in the world to come. I'm worth something, I did something good, I overcame [music] my inclination. Now I went through this whole journey >> [music] >> where I saw the bad, I saw my good which was minimal. You see, I'm religious, but I had almost no good. I mean, I had [music] good, but not good for the sake of heaven. I did many deeds, but they didn't have much quality. Afterwards, I sat before a rabbinical court [music] where there sat three judges whom I also know, I know what they look like, but not as I know them. Even the face was completely different. [music] There's Rabbi Yaakov Israel Fisher. I was very connected to the things he wrote on the Mishna Berura glosses, very [music] connected to him. The second Rabbi is Rabbi Mordechai Eliyahu [music] who also visited our home. I loved him very much, too. I even admired him. A tzaddik, foundation [music] of the world, loves everyone, connects everyone. Truly, truly [music] righteous. And the third person who for me is the greatest in the world is Rabbi Ovadia Yosef. These three righteous [music] men, I was connected to them and attached to them and loved them. So, they also [music] judged me, but there's no favoritism there. What happened? What happened was that after they had truly seen and fully understood the complete [music] weight of both the good and the bad, they ultimately made a very difficult and painful decision. That I wouldn't return [music] here anymore, that I would stay there. And then three [music] souls helped me. One of them, his name is Zion Eliyahu. He's a man who lived in Moshav Derech here near Beit Shemesh. For 13 years, I took him every day from his home. He was [music] disabled to the kollel back and forth, helping him a lot. He passed away 30 days before this happened to me. [music] We were within his 30 days. And the second person who helped me a lot, his name is Israel Meir Bleich. He's close to me. My apartment is his [music] apartment and he helped me a lot. And I also tried to help his children a lot. And the third soul who helped me there, her name [music] was Tamar Gabay from my parents' moshav whom I also really loved helping, talking to her, making her happy. [music] All these three souls, they helped me. So, I was [music] sedated and ventilated for a month and a week. I didn't come back to myself. I told you before that the professor said I wouldn't wake up again. [music] When I woke up, it was a very difficult process that my righteous wife went through. >> [music] >> She always held on to faith, faith, faith until the professor told her that I wouldn't wake up. She was so broken [music] by it. She told me yesterday, yesterday, today is Tuesday, so it was Monday, she told me yesterday, that she [music] like went into seclusion. She cried out to the creator of the world, "Enough, enough, enough. Let him come back already. [music] Let him wake up. I can't take it anymore." And thank God, the next day I already started. I opened [music] my eyes. I looked at my hand. I started to look around inside the intensive care unit. When my children came to visit me, I didn't recognize any of them. I didn't recognize any of my children. [music] Not this one, not that one, not that one. Who are they? I had forgotten everything. I suffered a head injury, a brain injury. And naturally, I had many fractures throughout my [music] body. I also had a huge scar. I have two photos. Maybe, God willing, I'll let you see them. In the back, [music] everything healed. The fractures healed, too. >> [music] >> It's a multi-system injury. It's not just anything. Today, I am considered disabled. And in every [music] sense, everything healed, everything returned to normal. Also, thank God, the memory, >> [music] >> the understanding, there were miracles, divine assistance and there was a lot of faith and especially there were many prayers from the people of Israel. They rise like oxygen to the heavens. You get strength [music] from that. He hears the prayer of his people Israel with love and that is what the creator of the world did for us.
