Hello everybody,
I was about to take part it the happy blog hop at Frosted designs, only the tragedy that haapened yesterday stopped me from that.
Carmel mt. is burning! 41 people were killed, many have been injured, some of them are fighting their lives, two police officers are missing, thousands of people were evacuated from their homes.
It is nearby my old hometown, Haifa, and my mom and brother are still living there, and we have lots of friends over there.
The fire is still high and it seems that the firemen can't control it.
I know personally some of the deads and the woundeds, and one of them is a friend of mine.
Under the circumstances, I can not take part in the blog hop, but please do hop over to Frosted Designs and join the wonderful ladies in the fun.

Today, Friday, is the 3rd candle of Hanukka. This is a holiday of miracles and we sure need a big miracle to stop that horrible fire. The weather here is like in the middle of summer - dry, high tempertures, strong eastern wind and no sign of rain.
My heart is with the families who lost their loved ones, with the people that got hurt by the fire, and with all the brave people that still fight the fire. Let us pray that no more people will get killed by this fire.
I will show you my lo for the "Glitter" challenge at Frosted Designs, but please forgive me for not being cheerful and happy today.
Thank you all for your understanding. The love and comfort you all sending me are so much appreciated.

זהו יום עצוב ונורא עד מאד. שריפת ענק בהר הכרמל, שעדיין נמשכת ולא רואים את קיצה.
41 הרוגים (מניין נכון לשעות הבוקר), פצועים קשה הנאבקים על חייהם, אלפי אנשים שפונו מבתיהם ואלפי דונמים של חורש מדהים שנשרפו על החיות המתגוררות שם.
אלו הם נופי ילדותי, שם נולדתי ושם נולדו לי ילדי. לצערי הרב אני מכירה אישית כמה מההרוגים והפצועים קשה. אחד מהם הוא חבר.
חנוכה הוא חג של ניסים. מי יתן ויתרחש הנס והאש הנוראית הזו תעצר ותגווע.
עם דמעות בעיניים ולב דואב, אני שולחת את תנחומי למשפחות השכולות, מתפללת להחלמה מלאה ושלמה של הפצועים ומחזקת את ידיהם של הגיבורים הממשיכים לעשות במלאכה ולהילחם באש.
נתפלל לבשורות טובות ולימים טובים יותר.
