It took over our lives. I remember going to the Federation, which was located in the Center, from morning until late at night. We were raising money…on the phones constantly.
Personally, I was getting my house painted and Morty and I would go home and have no place to sleep because we weren’t around to take care of our home. We never planned meals. The war took over physically and mentally everything that we did.
Our hearts, our minds, our time, and energy were directed to and for our love for Israel.
