Hi,
As I was called up for the war by Tzav 8, I left Atzva and the Kids in Har Adar in what became a lioness den
As the rest of my brothers and brothers in law were called up for Tzav 8 as well, all my sisters and sisters in law gathered up in my parents’ house in Har Adar.
There are between 3 to 5 families in any given moment in this house: 5 to 7 adults and 5 to 8 kids and babies in the Lioness den There is only one protected area, but the underground apartment rooms can be used as a shelter in the case of Tzeva Adom alarms.
And there alarms. Not only alarms but also rockets falling down, hitting building – but none is hurt at the moment.
The kids are loving it. After two months of summer holiday and the holidays in which we were looking for activities for the kids, my parents’ house is ready for it.
The adults are helping with the kids, so others can take turns in resting, cooking, laundry, and working.
Home front command called out to have supply to 72 hours and created panic. Those are the regular guides, but it made people think an attack was going tostart soon.
Many of the vegetables come from Western Negev, and there is a shortage in those. There are no schools, but some classes are passed by Zoom, like we had in Covid-19 time.
Take Care

Lioness – Tal Kolker Cohen.
And sometimes,
Heart broken mothers are falling apart at night,
And wake up in the morning as lioness.
Not because the fragments have been healed overnight.
Not because the worry changed by peace.
Not because they were run out of tears.
It is because one broken heart, of one kid,
needs one mother,
with full heart.
To all the mothers that feels they do nothing and “only” at home with the kids
