		In the final scene of the short film "By Way of the Wadi," there are long moments when one hears the water flowing through Wadi Kelt.
		The scene is a song of praise for Creation, for nature, life and vitality, which ostensibly stands in total contradiction to the subject of the film: a journey by the filmmaker, Bilha Bachrach, to the site were her son Ehud and his friend Uri Shahor were shot and killed in a terror attack.
