Hillel, who is responsible for the logistics and finances in the business, is recruited into the reserves when the fighting begins. "My man is also being recruited," Odia told N12. "So I play the role of three people - mother, father and also my brother in the business. It is very complex." Odia detailed the reasons for the difficulties of the business during the war: "The business of fashion in such a time is a problem. Fewer people spend money, because of the mood and lower financial capabilities. Fashion is also something that is constantly changing." Odia is responsible for the business's marketing and social networks, and therefore finds it difficult to specify the exact damage to the store's turnover, but emphasizes: "There is enormous damage, also in terms of the goods. We have a container that is delayed at sea." For those who want to purchase and help the turban business, Odia offers: "We have a website called 'Ashkar turban.' Until the government comes to its senses and provides the reservists with the proper assistance they need so they can fight "quietly" on the front, the home front is mobilizing to help their businesses so they can survive.

On October 7, the reservists left everything, the house, the family and also the business - and went to the front. The business of some of them, left behind by their dead in the rear, is in danger of collapsing. Avichai Mansharian, a reservist who fought in the Gaza Strip, recently went on a short break from serving in the IDF, during which he returned to the store he owns to start a liquidation sale of the goods he owns, to try and deal with the debts he has fallen into because of the situation. Avichai is the owner of a clothing and footwear store called "Sneakers." In Ramat Gan. In a conversation he had with N12, he talked about the difficult conditions he had to face: "The payments continue as usual: the rent, the electricity, the property tax. The grants from the state are not enough." "It strengthens the fighting spirit and it is not at all obvious that people come here to shop," he said in an interview. "There are clothes and shoes from different brands, accessories for women and men, good prices - we are about to close."
