Esther Aker stood next to her father at the bus stop, the night wind whipping the air as snowflakes fell from the black sky. As she hugged her father goodbye, tears streamed down her face.

“Please, Abba,” she whispered. “Don’t leave me.”

“I am so, so sorry, Esther,” he whispered back. “But Mommy is so sick, she really needs me now…You know it pains me to leave you now,” he said, voice quivering. 

Esther hugged her father tightly one last time before he boarded the Egged bus. She waited until he was just a green speck on the top of the hill and then slowly walked back to the hall.

What would she do now?

Amidst the serene backdrop of Eilat, a humanitarian crisis unfolds. The city, a symbol of peace and relaxation, now hosts an influx of over 70,000 refugees. These individuals, hailing from communities around Gaza and the north of Israel, have been deeply affected by the devastating October 7 attacks.
From Tranquility to Turmoil
Eilat, usually home to 50,000 residents, has transformed overnight. The influx of refugees includes families from communities like Be’eri, Chulit, Kissufim, and Nachal Oz. Many have endured the murder of friends and family members, while others have seen their homes destroyed. This influx has created an unprecedented strain on the city’s resources, demanding an urgent response.

Chanukah. A time of Singing, Dreidel, and Family.For many children in Shuvu that is not the case. Over 1,500 fathers of Shuvu children are fighting in Gaza and up North! These children, many from non-religious homes, will not have family parties to look forward to as they wait for their fathers to return from war.

2 months ago, incomprehensible darkness swallowed the town of Kibbutz Be’eri, as terrorists ruthlessly murdered men, women, and children. One of the first to arrive on the scene was ZAKA volunteer Natan Kenig. Tonight, after months of removing corpses and seeing the darkest sights of his life, Kenig and the other ZAKA volunteers will bring light to Be’eri by lighting Chanukah menorahs among the wreckage. It is a haunting reminder of the families who will not light this year, because they are gone.

Volunteer organization Saad V’Marpeh, headed by Moti Fried, have been going around hospitals since the beginning of the war visiting injured soldiers. Fried speaks up here about his experience:

‘There’s nothing more rewarding than giving back to these heroic soldiers who faced death defending our country. I’ve been working with hospital patients for 25 years, and I see it on these soldiers – the ones who get visitors and fresh food recover a lot quicker’ – Moti Fried
