This is an Orthodox, the universe's leading Jewish podcast.

I'm your host Leah Leibowitz.

For more than 300 days, Israel has been at war.

And at this point, families have had to find a way to continue moving forward and adapt to a difficult new normal.

There are still jobs to go to, shabats that still come every week, lives that must continue. Executive

producer Courtney Hazlitt visits the Reich family home just outside of

Aviv and speaks to the mother of Snat

as she prepares Shabbat dinner

and her son Hen, who just returned home

from fighting in Gaza, about what life has been like since October 7th.

You feel like it's the end of the war? Yeah. You do. Why? Tell me. Why? Because a festival, the people in Israel have no patient anymore. They have no heart, they have no not enough place in

their heart to suffer and contain more suffering and sacrifice.

Like we did a lot, die, that's it.

We need to stop it.

We need to win. We need to have the hostages, but there are other ways we have to take back to finish whatever they have to finish in the next few weeks and that's it.

We have no place in our body, in our soul, in our heart to contain it anymore.

This is my personal feelings, but I believe it's the end.

Do you mind being part of this? Sure, not a problem, no.

Can you give me your name?

My name is Chen, I'm a son, a third boy.

I'm a child.

How old are you? 23 years old and I've been dispatched of the Army three and a half months ago.
