Gratitude

I am grateful for my children and grandchildren, who have grown, advanced, and succeeded in life.

Hope

It is hard. I hope to return home.

Identity

I was a work manager. Everyone respected me and consulted with me even after I retired. I always treated people as equals.

Love

I am filled with love for this country, for Margaliot—which feels like overseas, only better—and for my family.

Meaning

When my father passed away, my mother came to live with me. We experienced a deeply moving and meaningful family period together.

Values

Brotherhood, connection among siblings, mutual responsibility, and offering help without being asked.

Disappointment

We are waiting for army officials to come and explain what is happening in our area. We are the frontline.
