For many years there was a siren there, actually according to Minhag Yerushalayim (40 minutes before sunset), then music was added before like in RBS, but the siren was stopped. It is so nice to hear the music, but is it really necessary to panic people with the siren, even in RBS?Meir Snoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-65791711491147175032018-06-27T09:26:09.173+03:002018-06-27T09:26:09.173+03:00In general Shabbat Sirens are a nice way to announ...In general Shabbat Sirens are a nice way to announce Shabbat, and I think even many traditional Jews appreciate the reminder that Shabbat is coming. (Unfortunately in Modi'in we do not have a siren, which I think is a shame)<br /><br />However, there are instances where the siren is part of a turf-war, or an organized battle to try and get people to move out, see this news article from New York:<br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UM962qjnlvQ<br /><br />If there is any accuracy to that news article, looks like the Satmarim are deliberately trying to make the area unbearable for non-Jewish neighbors. No idea what is going on in Tel Aviv, but it is possible that Meretz have a legitimate complaint.<br />Michael Sedleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02684514303911193073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-80848554884123997692018-06-26T21:59:56.492+03:002018-06-26T21:59:56.492+03:00They are the anti-Jewish Erev Rav.They are the anti-Jewish Erev Rav.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-19043619851626138092018-06-26T18:22:13.636+03:002018-06-26T18:22:13.636+03:00I don't think it's hypocrisy.
