My heart twinged when I reached the part about your arrival at your orchard only to see all your beautiful plums pillaged. I can imagine that any farmer develops an attachment to his fields and produce (and not just because it's his livelihood), and if it's a Jewish farmer in Eretz Yisrael, then I imagine that the attachment is even deeper because the produce contains kedushah/holiness. That was a huge challenge of emuna. Thanks for sharing this.
