In a phone call from the ship where they are imprisoned, the couple Shalva and Shimon Dohn share "Israel today" with feelings, thoughts and especially with longing.

"We miss our children, this is the most sensitive point we talk about," says Shalva. "The children, grandchildren, my father, brothers, sisters and the whole extended family. We are a very cohesive family, and miss Fridays when grandchildren, brides, grooms and children come to us.

The couple says: "Today the granddaughter called and said she misses, we want to do sanctification with everyone, I can't stop the tears, we just want to hug our children and the family - the whole family. We have nothing more precious than this in the world, and at such moments you understand That nothing is more important than your family - it's the greatest gift we receive during life. "

Her husband Shimon adds: "We have been abroad for a month, and usually our grandchildren are here every Saturday with the children, singing Sabbath songs, eating and laughing. We are really torn from longing because we are very attached to them and can't wait until we hug them again. I really miss my workplace where I have been working for 38 years, Tupperberg Winery, all the employees call me, the owners never stop reinforcing me, they are like family to me and everyone cares about us all the time. "

"I am very much waiting to come back to Israel and celebrate with them. The family is calling all day, as are the friends from work and everyone who knows us as well. We show them that we are strong but it is not always easy - we see dozens of ambulance vans evacuating patients every morning, seeing it out the window "I'm lucky that at least I'm with my wife, the person closest to me. We wait for it all to end already - dreaming of kiddushing with the extended family when everyone is healthy and whole, nothing more expensive in the world."
