ONLY IN ISRAEL: Phone Call From Thief: “I Want To Do Teshuvah”


The HaShomrim hotline in Bnei Brak received an interesting phone call on Wednesday during which a man admitted that he had stolen several bikes in the city in recent weeks.

He added that he made a decision to do teshuvah after seeing the organization’s reports about their recent arrest of bike thieves and he wishes to return the objects he stole.

Sure enough, the man returned a number of bikes, including an electric bike, and HaShomrim returned them to their grateful owners.

The man thanked HaShomrim for “helping him” to do teshuvah.

  1. I WISH I COULD BE MEKAYEM THIS MITZVA MIN HATORAH!
    He has to make a bracha, Lehashiv es hagzela, and a Shehechiyanu. Just like a pidyon haben

  2. What does Israel have to do with it? “Only among Jews” would something like this happen. Is there anything in the ideology of the State of Israel that encourages doing teshuva?
