WAR updates number 1

Dear friends and Sanga,
Yesterday, a normal Saturday was upon us, we had two groups of seniors coming to see our studio and get a tour.
We arrived at the studio to prepare for the day and at 08:06 AM the air raid siren started. We grabbed our things and ran to the bomb shelter.
This was the way of our government to let us know that we have opened war with Iran and attacked them together with the US which has been amassing its fire power all around the middle east.
The new war with Iran has broken.
We spent the day at home, running to the bomb shelter each time the siren went off and once the threat was over, back to the house to follow up on where did the missiles land and how much damage has been rained down on us.
It was a long day full of sirens.
Israel has upgraded its defense warnings and now they take over your phone with a warning to let you know that missiles are on their way to where you are right now and you have a few minutes till the siren goes off. Once the siren is on you need to run to the bomb shelter which gives us a little more time now compared to other wars we had to endure in the past.
So, I am sitting here in the studio at the computer writing this all to you, ready at any given second to ditch and run.
Ayelet went to the local grocery shop to get more things to help us pass the day, there is a bomb shelter there too so she is safe, even though she is not by my side.
We live right next to Israel's northeast air force base so we can tell if something is up. When there is a strike, two jets are scrambled and you can tell in which direction they flew to where they are going, be it Lebanon or Gaza or Syria and so forth. Two days ago, more than 25 of them shot up to the sky which is very unusual and headed out east in the direction of Iran so we waited to see how long it takes them to return. If it is in an hour or so you know it was just a drill, if they do not return in hours, you know something is up. They returned in an hour so we know it was only a drill but you do that only when you are about to strike so we know something is up but this is Israel, fighter jets are always up in the air…
Yesterday was day 1 of this new war. War with Iran.
🙏🙏🙏
Since Iran is the major player in the "kill everyone" game, if this time they are done with this attitude, something new can start, peace in the middle east and maybe the world?
Did anyone say world peace?
We have been getting worry emails from all of you out there asking if we are OK so I took the chance and headed out to the studio this morning to let you all know what is going on with us. We are safe for now, but no promises can be made since this is war.
Last night we slept in our clothes (felt like I was back in basic training) and were only woken up twice to run to the bomb shelter. Since we have this new government take over of our phones if missiles are launching, we have a bit more time to take a video of the missiles as they come and share it with you. So, I can share something in the form of a clip for you to see.
we love you all out there, thank you for all your kind words and care, we hope this will end soon and we can resume normal life and maybe peace? We are prying… we do have an obligation to fill…
since this life is so short and since we take nothing but our intentions and karma, we set out to do something huge and that is our world peace interfaith wind prayer wheel project that we hope would bring the right frequency, the right mind and heart attitude to this place. We hope you can pitch in and help us achieve this monumental of all goals…
world peace.
As the first stage of our goal is to put 108 of them all over the borders of Israel and other parts of it and only that part of our plan is about 50K$... the second part is sending them all over the world so there is no monetary goal on the fundraiser… it is endless in our minds… we wish to cover this earth with these wind prayer wheels and send out trillions and trillions of mantras with all other faith's prayers we have collected over the years that make up our world peace prayer wheels. If you can help us out by shearing it with everyone you know, be them Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist or any other faith they follow you would be helping us so much… we have nothing to gain here, just peace that is so needed to so many… all over this middle east and the world…
Share it, put the word out, help us help this place and the whole world.

Nothing like this has ever been done before and we feel as though we were put here on this land, born here to this reality to do something about it and world peace interfaith prayer wheels seems like the most non invasive of all ways to achieve blessings carried out by the wind to touch everyone, everywhere.
You all out there are the only ones that can make this happen. We are just the "doers"…
We love you all so much and have no words to describe the honor we feel. You all make our lives matter. You all out there are what we wake up in the morning to continue what we do.
We will continue to do this till we die. Hopefully not today but who really knows?
We will keep updating you when ever it is possible as we need to be close to the bomb shelter and run when the siren goes off, and our desktop computer is at the studio which is not so far but there is no bomb shelter near it so it is a bit more dangerous to go there to type on the keyboard.
Much love to all of you
May peace come soon to ALL!
May kindness prevail and may we all learn the one lesson no one in the history of all mankind has learned, how to share this world as the transitory beings we are.
Micha & Ayelet
Make the most of this day, your life, this world… all of it!
It ends so quickly… we take nothing...
With you in my heart! Praying for a new beginning for us all!
