On October 7th 2023 , Israel got attacked by the terrorist organisation Hamas.

Over 2000 people were brutallykilled.

Women, children, men, young people at a trance festival & IDF Soldiers. May they all rest in peace.

Over 200 people were taking hostage.

Young girls were rape.

Burned.

And the Israeli nation have to cope with this tragedy, bring back home the hostages, manage to get the security of the country back, provide medical and emotional care to everyone that was hurt in this attack, and survived it.

Sadly it's always personal, whether you know or don't know someone.

Me personally have about 15 people, friends, that got hurt in this attack.

Most of them were killed and will never come back home.

A few are crushed and their spirit might never bounce back from this trauma.

On October 23rd 2023, Israel is still at war, I was to have a Yoga & Mindfulness workshop up in North Israel at Gelilee.

Clearly it was Cancelled, a lot of small businesses suffered from this war, and its very hard to build back, especially when the end is not clear.

The whole nation is hurt and traumatised.

So ..

I'm shock but I decided to act.

To give back to who ever needs.

I started volunteering with IDF Soldiers teaching them yoga, to help them relax and stretch a bit in order to obtain a better clearer mind and body, after sleepless nights they had .

That day I started my class telling them, about the workshop I was supposed to host, I started tearing a bit, telling them I put so much work into it and that I knew in my heart I'd be teaching today, so I thanked them for their service and for coming to my class, and they tear a bit too.

I raised money with my friend David

We got a bounce of stuff for IDF Soldiers.

Such as Blankets, Pillows, Socks, Sleeping mattresses, Hygiene products and more...

My sister started cooking for the Soldiers and drove to the border to give them the food.

(we had about 2/3 full car lods of supply for the soldiers)

Everyone just gives, because this is the type of nation, the Israeli nation is.

It's based on family values.

One for all and all for one.

May we all get better days.

May the hostages get back home to their families safe and sound.

(some images out of many 🙏🏻 i'm so grateful to give)

Izhar (which means in Hebrew will light / enlighten) and his wife posted on Facebook that her father's Tomato plantation needs help because the workers quite due to the war, and that all the tomatoes are going bad, no one to pick them and to drive the produce to the market to sell.

So my sister and I woke up really early and drove to Ohad, which is a moshav in southern Israel.

Located in the Hevel Eshkol area of the north-western Negev desert near the Gaza Strip border, it falls under the jurisdiction of Eshkol Regional Council.

Apparently like 40 other people decided to show up to help.

We are a beautiful nation.

Coming to help so everyone will have tomatoes in the local markets.

It was really scary, out in the plantation field, no safe place, many rockets alarms. You have 15 seconds to lie down on your stomach with your hands above your head and hope that it'll pass, hearing alarms then booms & things exploding, waiting a bit, and continuing to pick them tomatoes.

I wish us all better days, I wish us all to love Mother Nature more .

And may we find peace in all that we do.

With love and joy, and go help as much as you can.
