The Sukkot, okay, it was the first Sukkot.

I didn't build a Sukha in here at home.

And I built our Sukha at the junction next to Yuli-Ederstein house.

The main thing we shouted was 50 years ago in October 73. We had a disaster. And what we wanted to say

let's stop the 2023 disaster before it happens.

And what is unbelievable is that on Thursday evening, we went home from Suka.

And on Shabbat, we had the biggest catastrophe we could even imagine.

Hey listeners, it's Mishi.

So as you know, during these incredibly difficult days, we're trying to bring you voices

we're hearing among and around us.

These aren't stories, they're just quick conversations, or postcards really, that try to

capture slivers of life right now. For months, Sivan of Neri, a physical therapist from Kfar Shmeriyahu, was active in the Mecha'a,

the demonstrations against the judicial reforms.

That's why he built his soukha outside the House of Yuli Edelstein, one of the senior members of the Likud Party,

and the chairman of the Knesset's Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee.

Like hundreds of thousands of other Israelis, he felt he was fighting for his home, for the

nature of his country. He had no idea how true that was about to become.

On Saturday morning, October 7th, Sivan received a message which is every parent's

worst nightmare. His 18-year-old son Tal was, unbeknownst to him, at the Nova Party in

Reim, and was now fleeing for his life. Without a second of hesitation, Sivan knew exactly what he needed to do.

Our producers, Jael Ben-Hurin and Alexandra Muller, bring us his story. Adina Karpuch edited this piece.

My name is Sivan. I'm 50 years old. We have five kids. As a soldier, I was at the paratroops.
