Esther,
Please be assured that there's lots of davening going on everywhere
for all of you! (My husband's family & a friend of mine live in
Ashdod, so we get to hear some 1st hand reports of the tension that
has become a part of your lives; believe me, almost everything else
besides your safety seems so unimportant.)
All the best,
Batya
