Day Siren
This is amazing. The entire country stops for the siren to remember Israel’s fallen soldiers. This is the view from the Netanya promenade.

Grace realized her camera also has video capabilities, so she filmed the moment of silence as well.
Post-Siren Interview
Afterwards, Grace turns her camera on me. I wasn’t expecting it and was still experiencing a bit of an emotional moment at the end of the siren.

The promenade leads to the Mediterranean Sea — this is the view from the cliffs.

Netanya Prep
Soldier’s Rememberance Day and Israeli Independence Day are like one long bi-polar holiday. At sundown, when Remeberance Day ends, Independence Day begins. Netanya is getting ready for the celebrations.
Ampitheater
This is the ampitheater I used to hang out at when I was a child, visiting my grandparents in Netanya.

I will never forget the sound of the siren! I had goosebumps and listened to the entire thing.
I can’t imagine the emotion of being there.
