The scream that erupted from her mouth was completely out of her control. "Deborah - Dini, save! bear!! A large, furry body poked its head through the gap in the fence, revealing a large, snarling mouth at the third. A few moments later, the island of peace turned into an impossible mess of shrieks and stomping feet, sleeping bags were trampled, backpacks overturned and in the great commotion Hafzi was completely forgotten about. 'Bear Hug' is the story of the Jacobson family, dealing with Hefzi, an unusual girl studying in an ordinary seminary. 'Bear Hug' is the story of Betsi, Hefzi's twin sister, who is sure that if Hefzi had only wanted to, everything would have been different. 'Bear Hug' is the story of Benny, the eldest son of the Yacobzon family, who is convinced that the problem of Hefzi is also his lot. The story of loneliness, trust and acceptance, compassion and shame, frustration and closeness. The story of the limits of ability and responsibility and of love and prayer that have no limits.
