Helmet Explanation:
The Motzei Shabbat following Simchat Torah & Shmini Atzeret
caught me with such a sense of helplessness in the face of
the horrors I saw through the WhatsApp groups of my kibbutz
friends. Those who were murdered were my personal friends
and from the same kibbutz I had been adopted as a child.
I witnessed the utter chaos in each of the settlements that
surround Aza - Sderot, Netivot & other kibbutzim where - and
in each of them - I had friends who were like family to me.
The citizens & soldiers who ran to help at the Nova Festival
reminded me of my uncle - my Mother’s brother - running to
his army truck in 1973, when he ran to the Sinai and was killed.
The helplessness I felt connected the Yom Kippur War in
1973 to October 2023 and within me, the “expectation” of
redemption and a cure for the world was formed.
