Emmanuelle Skaly<p>One of the most emotionally loaded moment of our lives. Low singing the Tikvah (the hope) national Israeli anthem alongside a mixed Jewish and non Jewish Bedouin, Arab crowd and more, cop cars saying "Baruch Hashem, we shall know better days" as the cars carrying Shiri, Kfir and Ariel are passing us by. Our Israeli hearts are broken but we must live in spite of terror. Cry for them, then do your best to live your best life for them also. That's the best we can do. Rest in peace, pure souls, Shiri, Ariel and Kfir Bibas. 🎗️🧡🎗️ </p><p>Here about a mile away from the Gaza border.</p><p><a href="https://babka.social/tags/hostgaes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>hostgaes</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/israel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>israel</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/bringthemhome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bringthemhome</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/terror" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>terror</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/jews" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>jews</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/jewish" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>jewish</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/bibas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bibas</span></a></p>
Emmanuelle Skaly<p>Today is an orange day. Today, all of us, Israel and the collective Jewish diaspora, and any who support us and can feel our pain, bleed in orange. In heartbreak for Ariel and Kfir, and in insecure but deep hope for Shiri, I made these orange necklaces and bracelets to help process this grief over the deaths of the Bibas boys. I can feel deep pain but a fraction of the pain of their family, living close by to me and mine, a few miles away from the border with our brutal enemy. Today I wear orange and make orange jewelry, hoping to sell those soon and send 30 percent of the proceeds to the Bibas family directly or through the Hostages Families Organization. 🎗️🧡 </p><p>Purchase here: <a href="https://emmanuelleskaly.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">emmanuelleskaly.com/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://babka.social/tags/bibas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bibas</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/bibasfamily" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bibasfamily</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/israel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>israel</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/jews" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>jews</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/jewish" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>jewish</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/antisemitism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>antisemitism</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/bringthemhome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bringthemhome</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/bringthemhomenow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bringthemhomenow</span></a></p>

Hebrew by Inbal<p>In the shadow of hatred, they emerge into light, <br>Three daughters of life, reclaiming the right <br>To breathe, to dream, to love and to be, <br>While those who surround them cannot truly see. </p><p>They are Israel, a nation that lives, <br>That cherishes each soul and all that life gives.</p><p>Their captors, blind to the sanctity of breath, <br>Embrace only darkness, destruction, and death. </p><p>For Israel holds life as sacred and whole, <br>Each heartbeat a treasure, each spirit a soul.</p><p>The other side cannot fathom this grace, <br>For they dwell in a void, a desolate place. </p><p>These girls are the promise, the light shining through, Proof that life endures where goodness is true. </p><p>And though darkness may linger, it cannot prevail— For life, like Israel, will always unveil. </p><p>Welcome home - Emily, Rommy, and Doron.</p><p>Waiting to welcome all remaining 94 beautiful souls.</p><p><a href="https://babka.social/tags/bringthemhomenow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bringthemhomenow</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/bringthemhome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bringthemhome</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/welcomehome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>welcomehome</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/weloveyou" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>weloveyou</span></a></p>
