Davka during the bad times, WE should be getting up and going to EY. Husband and I will be moving next summer, IY’H, but wish we were ready to go right this second.
Remember also, Israeli parents don’t have the option of sending their kids somewhere “safer”. They just live with the daily reality. If your kids are EY this year (as my brother is; my parents are nervous, but then again, I was there during the end of the intifada/2006 war, so they’re used to it), now you get a dose of what an Israeli parent has to live with every day.
