What Israeli kids will be doing in school on Thursday

This is what Israeli children are going to be doing at 10:05am on Thursday. There will be a 90-second air raid siren (except in the Gaza envelope), during which they will practice positions for missile attacks. The fact that the kids have to practice this sort of thing is one of the facts of life to which those of us who live here become accustomed. It's part of our reality. The idea is to make it automatic for the kids to do what they are supposed to do - whether that means getting to a shelter or getting down on one's stomach on the floor with one's hands over one's head.

Name: Carl in Jerusalem

Location: Jerusalem, Israel

I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004.
