Israel is coming out of lockdown, little by little (and hopefully there won't be a "second wave" that sends us back in).

Schools are reopening, with some classes beginning now and more to be added. Sport is allowed now. they announced they will be canceling the 100 meter distance limit. More and more types of businesses are being allowed to open. Minyanim are being allowed, outdoors for now and limited in size, but that will surely be increased as well soon. Beaches are beginning to be opened. And on and on.

The one industry that might be left behind is the entertainment industry. People are not going to be going into movie theaters, concert halls, bowling alleys, arcades and the like anytime soon. As a matter of fact, the workers in the art industry, especially the peripheral workers (sound engineers, cleaners, lighting engineers, service people, etc) are complaining how badly the industry was hit and saying they are worse off than most industries (whether true or not I dont know) and are therefore demanding more government assistance to help them survive, as the arts are vitally important for a country.

With the entertainment industry hurting badly, a lovely idea was proposed.

According to Ynetnews, local production companies are considering plans to hold concerts and shows at large drive-in facilities. Like the old drive-in movies, people would go to a concert and enjoy it from their own cars.

the idea would allow a thousand cars on premises, with two people in each car. They expect to host music concerts along with stand up comedy performances and even movies.

It is nice to be getting back to normal, or something similar to normal, but it would be a shame if the released lockdown means this didn't come to be. I really like this idea.
