Forget about the nighttime lockdown that our city was part of; Israel now has the very dubious distinction of being the first nation to go into a second country-wide Covid lockdown. Tomorrow at noon, a few hours before Rosh Hashanah starts, all stores aside from groceries and pharmacies will be closed for at least three weeks. Stores are usually mobbed before the big holidays anyway, but, maaaan, things have been crazy busy because no one is going to be able to buy anything but food until mid-October. EEK.
I still get to go to work during the lockdown. I will report back as to what it's like to be out and about while the majority of the country is limited to 500 meters from their home. I was thinking today how odd and sad it will be to walk around the Old City with all the stores and restaurants closed.....
May we all be blessed with a very happy and HEALTHY New Year.
