On the night of Memorial Day a minute-long siren is heard at 8:00
PM. The siren opens the Memorial Day ceremonies all over the
country.

The siren moment is a special moment; everyone stops, stands,
remembers and thinks – about a soldier they knew, about the wars
that were in the past, or about the one from this summer, about a
family friend who was killed in a terror attack, and about anyone in
whose merit the state was established and continues still to exist.
This is a special moment, because it is a moment where everyone
is together but everyone is also separate; each person stands with
his thoughts and feelings, quietly.

On Memorial Day there is another siren, which is two minutes
long, at 11 AM, and then the people in Israel leave everything
they’re doing throughout the day and stand – just like you saw in
the video.
