With no TV and living in Jerusalem, we are quite out of touch with what is going on here. But everyone living in Eretz Yisroel feels the state of war right now, and the tremendous "Nissim" being experienced. So many hundreds of rockets and so few casualties. I saw an amazing video clip showing a man playing his piano in the middle of a house just destroyed by a rocket.
On the work front, all the charities I work with are flooded out by calls for help. Even Jerusalem is affected. I heard that more than 3000 people have moved here temporarily from up North. One of our neighbours is putting up 30 of his family members in his small apartment! Right now I am waiting up for a phone call from a charity that is sending out food to over 1000 people a day. I have to help them advertise to get donations for these meals.
Let's pray that the war ends soon ....
A humorous look at life from the perspective of a newly disabled Jewish mother in Israel. This is a personal diary chronicling my progress, problems and challenges day-to-day. I am a an orthodox mother of 5, aged 48 who for the last 4 years has been struck down by an unusual disability. I am writing this diary to help me come to terms with the situation and see the funny side of things. I hope friends, family and anyone else gets something out of my thoughts and experiences.
