I guess I am lucky, I have no idea what you are talking about... ;-)

I suspect that what is wrong is that you have specified 2 actions for
the mail coming from this address. If I understand it correctly (an
assumption), the first echoes the mail to /dev/null (hopefully: I
never used the "| echo >" in procmail), and the second specifies
a lockfile (/tmp/null) and uses the default action, which is probably 
the usual delivery.

Have you tried the simpler

:0 [ : /tmp/null optionally - OG ]
* ^From.*xxx@beitberl.ac.il
/dev/null

?
