Today is the International Museum Day. Claps to those who came up with an idea of making this 'day' which is a perfect excuse for free excesses to museums. Today, from 5 pm on, the entrance to the Tel Aviv Museum of Art is free of charge. Full of excitement, I head to the museum once my shift finishes.
It is around the sunset that my friend Joel introduces me to his daughter. We get into her car and head to the school of her children in the east of Tel Aviv to attend an event. When we arrive, hundreds of people - students of all grades and their teachers, parents, and other family members - are already seated or standing in front of a big stage. The clock strikes eight, and a sudden sound of siren immediately fills the air. Everyone gets up and stands still. The siren is so loud that it is almost deafening at one point. After one minute, it stops.
