At the hotel, I participate in all the activities. Today, at age 82, the day is quite boring. Usually, I attend two courses per week at Veterans of the Galilee.
I have nowhere to return yet. They will build a protected room, and then I will return home. The kibbutz was not severely damaged, except for the gardens. I have a large garden, and I invest mostly in it—cleaning and gathering fruits. I threw out the contents of the fridge and I am already waiting to go home.
I always hope for the best and believe it will be good. I hope the wars will end and that the grandchildren will not have to serve in the army. I wish and hope for health at any age.
I have children and grandchildren in the north, and I worry they will not return there. My eldest son was a permanent army pilot and bombed near Malkiya during the Lebanon war.
I have love for home, for people around me, and for family—it makes me happy. I am easily hurt and slow to forgive. I loved my original family very much. My mother moved in with me after being widowed, and I am happy to live here. My husband’s mother also lives here—Persian and Italian—who did not know how to communicate but became friends.
In 1970, I joined Malkiya, met my husband, a Holocaust survivor from Italy who joined the kibbutz.
In Malkiya, I worked as a childcare provider, took professional courses, and worked from age 27 to 50. I am proud that I was a good caregiver and was highly appreciated.
Six years ago, my husband passed away from Parkinson’s disease. We had four children. My husband was an athlete and won many triathlon competitions. On my 80th birthday, a photo album of my life was made—it was a wonderful opportunity to tell my story to all the grandchildren.
