Hello,
thanks to everyone. What helped me in the end were the followin instructions from wordpress:

To create the static front page, go to the WordPress Administration Panels.

Create two WordPress Pages from the “Add New Page” panel.
Title one as “Home” (or another name) as your “static” front page.
Set the “Home” template to the default template or any custom template.
Add content you would like to see within the content area of the “Home” page.
Publish the Page.
Title the second one as “Blog” (or you could call it “News”, “Articles”, etc.). This page will be a place-holder for showing the Posts on your site.
Do not use a custom Page template for this page!
DO NOT add content to the Blog Page. Leave it blank. Any content here will be ignored — only the Title is used.
Publish the Page.
Go to Administration > Settings > Reading panel.
Set which page will be designated the “front” page. Choose from display your latest blog posts on the “Blog” Page and “static page” for the “Home” Page.
Save changes.

Everything is ok for now. thanks

Thanks for your help, but I still did not get the answer I need.

I am not very familiar with wordpress, but I used to make changes to the homepage through WordPress: Appearance/ Editor and then Main Index Templete (index.php). I can no longer make changes that way. It does not work for some reason.
My main question is: Can someone please explain to me step by step where and how exactly can I edit my homepage now without using the index.php.
I appreciate your help.
Thanks
J.

Hello Songdogtech,
I don’t understand how I can edit my site after putting back: <?php
// Silence is golden.
?>
Can you please explain how it is done.
