A romantic Meeting :-) - Life in Israel

Photos taken this evening, just after mild rain. I was almost in my way out to take my kids one to orthodontist..and the other to "Dragons & Labyrinth " usual weekly activity ...Someone was knocking at my door..."Who's there ?" I asked...And a voice answered :"coming to take your "ERKOT HAGANA" (A.B.C. Set) thats how we we call it here.Well I forgot all about it,and had to go out,that exact minute...SO..Later I had to search them...2 minutes away from my home.I asked their permission to take shots of these boxes...and the girl wanted I'll take her shots ;-)...The bottom photo will show you the inside of these boxes.And...All these A.B.C Sets are being collected from all the population to refresh them, probably we shall get new ones...Although I truly hope that not...and will never have to use them again. For the purpose of sharing only.Love & Peace for BEST DAYS,Thanks for viewing and commenting.

Wow!!!..How terrible is man's inhumanity to man...that this is a necessary item in your life. ....Humans think they are so far above the other animals on this planet..and yet there are those that create situations where things like this are needed....so sad...

Artist Reply: Thanks alot ,Jerie for your visiting me here yesterday. It is a terrible thought ,to think that there are minds in the world that can create such kind of situations ,that can not be understood by any logical senses.LOVE & PEACE..Nira

Before I scrolled down to the bottom photo I suspected thats what they were because the top picture by the look of the handles on the boxes look like the mask boxes English school kids carried during the Blitz, only they were alot smaller. I too hope you never have to use them but at least your government provides free realistic protection; here in the US they tell us to go buy plastic sheets and duct tape, or during the Cold War as I was still of age to remember doing the duck and cover (under the desk or in the hallway) drills in elementary school, in case the Soviets attacked, like that would help. Be well Nira.

Artist Reply: Hello Steven...Well..The government provides the mask..yes.The plastic sheets and duct tape :-)..we also buy. As I wrote here earlier..I hope we shall never have to use it again in future...and...not sure actually,that if something will happen here, its efficient enough...I mean it, with ALL MY POSITIVE THINKING. Thanks alot.
Artist Reply: The blue plastic boxes by the way...are for the babies,after women here gives birth to a baby..as they go out of hospital they get it.Thanks,nira

Oh Nira what a terrible way to have to live..I'm sooo sorry and it is such a sad commentary to one's way of life. I pray you and your children as well as your Country never ever ever have to use them again!

Artist Reply: Well..I'm truly tired..but..just before going to sleep..I'll reply those of you that already here...Charlotte..thanks alot for your comments and sentiments,that i hear here from you and not for the first time,you are so supportive.YES..It's really a HOPE To never have to use them. It's terrible to wear Those masks and the fear.."IF"...AND..Actually..here a lot of people feel that in case of "IF"...Those will not be protective enough. Wishing you best of luck in moving,Charlotte..LOVE,Nira
