The potter, his family, and Professor Hiram Weiss may be the premiere characters in THE VASE, but other characters weigh in, as well.
There is the captain, Weiss’s fellow Mossad operative. But Captain Benny Mathias is much more than that. He is an active captain in the IDF, and he also is the head of Kidon, which as some of you may know, is the division of Mossad in charge of assassination. Yes, Captain Benny Mathias is a war veteran, and he is a killer. But his experiences have taken a toll on the man. He has lost all faith in god. What with the rampant killing in the region, that includes innocent women and children losing their lives, he cannot fathom a world with such atrocities being permitted by a higher power. No, Captain Mathias is an atheist, and nothing short of a miracle would ever change his mind on that.
But he’s not looking for any miracle. It is for Israel he fights. His entire life is dedicated to the preservation of Israel, and he has had no time for love, no time for marriage, and no time for a family of his own. But it doesn’t mean he has no feelings. The beautiful assistant to the director of Mossad has caught his eye. And she's been a widow for many years now. Will she return his affections? Or will she reserve her ardor for the professor from Bethel University?
Tomorrow, we’ll talk about Mary Levin, a former IDF captain, herself, and current personal assistant to Ari Abrams, the director of Mossad.
