Left Behind-The Kids: Escape To Masada Chapter 5 – Off To Masada
Judd listened as Mr. Stein explained from both the Old and New Testaments what he believed about Nicole Carpathia. Mrs. Ben-Eliezer listened with interest as the rabbi drove silently. When he had talked for many miles, Mr. Stein switched the conversation to Mrs. Ben-Eliezer and asked about her family.
“We have two grown boys. One is in Haifa, the other in Tel Aviv. Things have been very hard, but they come to see us as often as they can. We had a girl….” The woman glanced at her husband.
Mr. Stein set forward. “What happened to her?”
Mrs. Ben-Eliezer clutched a tissue, as if she knew she was going to need it. “She went to America a few years ago to study. Anyway, she passed away.”
“Was she part of the disappearances?”
“We should not talk of this,” the rabbi said.
Mrs. Ben-Eliezer turned, tears in her eyes, and nodded.
“Let me guess,” Mr. Stein said. “At the university, she met some religious fanatics. Maybe had one for a roommate. And they convinced her to turn her back on her beliefs. It broke your heart.”
The woman hung on every word, wiping away tears. She looked at her husband. “Did you tell him?”

“Meira was my daughter’s name,” Mrs. Ben-Eliezer interrupted.
“– yes, Meira. She no doubt tried to convince you that the Messiah had already come.”
“She wrote letters, called, even made a special trip home from school. We were all heartbroken.”
“When Chaya talked to my wife and me, I was so upset that I turned my back on her.” Mr. Stein’s lip quivered. “I considered her already dead, told my wife that she was to no longer speak Chaya’s name in our home.
